As a professional engineer, you may find yourself spending a large part of your working life producing written documents.
These might take the form of lengthy reports, or might be simple, short emails. Irrespective of the form of document you are producing, it is essential that your messages are clearly expressed and readily understood.
This one-hour recorded webinar introduces some common flaws in technical documents and provides tips on how to address them.
Learning outcomes
The goal of this webinar is to assist you in producing clearer documents. The presenter will help you identify problem areas in your writing, and will provide the tools to help you address these.
Having completed this webinar, you should:
- Understand what is meant by ‘active tense’ and ‘passive tense’ and recognise how you use these in your writing
- Be able to make informed choices about whether to use active or passive tense, and notice how this choice might make your writing clearer
- Recognise a ‘run-on’ sentence and be able to correct any in your writing
- Be able to use bullet points more effectively.
Intended audience
This webinar is a must for engineers who will be working with any form of technical writing in their role.
