About this title

Synopsis:

Communication Patterns of Engineers brings together, summarizes, and analyzes the research on how engineers communicate, presenting benchmark data and identifying gaps in the existing research. Written by two renowned experts in this area, the text: * Compares engineering communication patterns with those of science and medicine * Offers information on improving engineering communication skills, including the use of communication tools to address engineering departments' concerns about the inadequacies of communication by engineers * Provides strong conclusions to address what lessons engineering educators, librarians, and communication professionals can learn from the research presented

Review:

"...this book is highly recommended for library and information science libraries and engineering special and academic libraries." (E-STREAMS, July 2004)

"...a mountain of research. Virtually every paragraph contains foods for thought. If you want a broad view of engineering communication...I highly recommend this book." (Computing Reviews.com, June 22, 2004)

"...looks at all aspects of engineering communication, including how much time engineers spend reading for their jobs and the kind of information they produce as a result of their work." (The Institute, January 7, 2004)
