engineering communication Flashcards
Engineers need to communicate effectively their solution by means of __________, which is an integral part of any engineering project.
presentation
Steps in analyzing an engineering problem
1) Defining the problem
2) Simplifying the problem
- Assumption and estimation
3) Performing the solution or analysis
- Symbolic or parametric form
4) Verifying the results
It is a means of communicating to others in an organization or to the sponsors of the project how much progress has been made and which of the main objectives of the project have been achieved to date
Progress Report
It is a means of communicating to people in top management positions, such as vice president of a company, the findings of a detailed study or proposal.
Executive Summary
Another way of conveying information in a brief way to interested individuals usually two pages in length.
Short Memos
a brief informative description of the report content
Title
It is a complete but concise sentences stating the precise objective, emphasizes significant findings, and present conclusions and /or recommendation
Abstract
It states the purpose of what is to be investigated through the performance of the experiment
Objectives
