From the Authors of Engineering Writing by Design: Creating Formal
Documents of Lasting Value Engineering presentations are often a
topic of frustration. Engineers complain that they don't enjoy
public speaking, and that they don't know how to address audiences
with varying levels of technical knowledge. Their colleagues
complain about the state of information transfer in the profession.
Non-engineers complain that engineers are boring and talk over
everybody's heads. Although many public speaking books exist, most
concentrate on surface issues, failing to distinguish the formal
oral technical presentation from general public speaking.
Engineering Speaking by Design: Delivering Technical Presentations
with Real Impact targets the formal oral technical presentation
skills needed to succeed in modern engineering. Providing clear and
concise instruction supported by illustrative examples, the book
explains how to avoid logical fallacies (both formal and informal),
use physical reasoning to catch mistakes in claims, master the
essentials of presentation style, conquer the elements of
mathematical exposition, and forge a connection with the audience.
Each chapter ends with a convenient checklist, bulleted summary,
and set of exercises. A solutions manual is available with
qualifying course adoption. Yet the book's most unique feature is
its conceptual organization around the engineering design process.
This is the process taught in most engineering survey courses:
understand the problem, collect relevant information, generate
alternative solutions, choose a preferred solution, refine the
chosen solution, and so on. Since virtually all engineers learn and
practice this process, it is so familiar that it can be applied
seamlessly to formal oral technical presentations. Thus,
Engineering Speaking by Design: Delivering Technical Presentations
with Real Impact is inherently valuable in that it
