This guide is for students in Penn State Harrisburg's ENGL 202C. It includes databases, research tips, and other resources for various ENGL 202C assignments.
Defines the principle and most commonly used terms found in engineering documents and drawings across multiple disciplines and explains them in plain, unambiguous English.
Presents a "scientific" approach to writing that mirrors the sensibilities of scientists and engineers, an approach based on an easily-discernable set of principles. Rather than merely stating rules for English grammar and composition, this book explains the reasons behind these rules and shows that good reasons can guide every writing decision.
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.
The Chicago Guide to Communicating Science recognizes that writers come to the table with different needs and audiences. Through solid examples and concrete advice, Montgomery sets out to help scientists develop their own voice and become stronger communicators.
This link performs a search in the Penn State CAT (library catalog) for books on career exploration, communication, exam preparation, and other student concerns.
A comprehensive guide for experts and novices for producing engineering drawings and annotated 3D models that meet the recent BSI and ISO standards of technical product documentation and specifications.
Based on a reference worked developed for engineers and technicians at Lockheed Martin, readers will find invaluable tips on: -- How to Understand The data on a drawing -- How to avoid dimension and tolerance errors -- How to select the proper drawing type for a given engineering objective.
Teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD 2017 as its drawing instrument, complying with ANSI standards. Taking a step-by-step approach, it encourages students to work at their own pace and uses sample problems and illustrations to guide them through the powerful features of this drawing program.
Updated to cover the new features in SolidWorks 2016. It focuses on the creation of engineering drawings, including dimensions and tolerances and the use of standard parts and tools.
