Technical Writing (Introduction)

There is no compulsory text, however the list below will be added to as more books come to our attention.

Recommended Text:

• Finkelstein Junior, Leo. Pocket Book of Technical Writing for Engineers and Scientists. 3rd ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2008. ISBN:978-0-07-319159-1

Online Books: I’ve found these to be excellent resources which could potentially replace the need for a book. This may be useful where books are expensive or not easily available.
