  • Abstract
    In an analysis of the use of language as an engineering tool, the writing problem is divided into three phases: the preparation, the act of writing, and the results achieved. Questions of empathy for the reader, writing style for effective expression, and organization for clarity are discussed. Some criteria are given for mature, professional prose and for measuring the effectiveness of engineering literature.
