Making Sense in Engineering and the Technical Sciences: A Student's Guide to Research and Writing

The Making Sense series comprises four concise, readable guides to research and writing for use by students at all levels of undergraduate study. Designed especially for students in engineering, this book outlines the general principles of style, grammar, and usage, while covering such issues as how to prepare proposals and project reports, how to write lab reports, and how to follow the conventions governing the use of diagrams and other graphics. The third edition of the book has new material on evaluating Internet sources and avoiding plagiarism, as well as new and updated examples.
