Writing for Science
A Practical Handbook for Science, Engineering and Technology Students
Description:... Writing for Science is a practical handbook designed to make the writing process more productive for undergraduate science, engineering and technology students. Material is presented in a format that has developed from dealing first-hand with hundreds of students at all undergraduate and graduate levels, and with professional engineers and scientists. Key features include: outlines of basic requirements for science essay and technical report writing; notes on how to prepare a CV and write letters for job applications, examples taken from student writing; and methods for correcting common mistakes. The text assumes no prior knowledge of writing requirements or techniques, and covers the main tools of writing, referencing, using illustrations, revising, background reading, note taking and record keeping.
