Klappentext

How to Write Technical and Scientific Reports

This textbook introduces all important and necessary knowledge to create written reports or oral presentations about STEM and engineering topics in a professional and efficient manner. By showing example structures and right/wrong comparisons you will get many practical hints on how to design your own report. The examples are mostly derived from works written by the authors and therefore they often deal with mechanical engineering topics. There are different sections about frequent mistakes in Technical and Scientific Reports, the use of word processors and tools for creating presentations, the design of figures and tables as well as the oral presentation of the Technical or Scientific Report, also as a short statement.

In this 3rd edition all texts were revised and updated, the sections with references were updated,
the glossary and index were expanded and Springer Nature (SN) Flashcards were added
to help you to remember the introduced knowledge and to create Technical and Scientific Reports
even more efficiently.

Test your knowledge with questions and answers about the book with Springer Nature Flashcards.
