Engineering Reports and Liability: A Technical Writing Primer for the 21st-Century Engineer teaches engineers how to create effective technical documentation while minimizing legal risks. With one in every two-to-three engineering firms facing lawsuits within their first five years, and many engineering failures traced to documentation errors, understanding communication liability is essential for today's professionals. The book covers multi-disciplinary examples of engineering reports, composition fundamentals, and the legal implications of technical writing. It equips students with skills to improve their technical writing, create effective reports, and avoid costly legal complications—all within an ethical framework.
- Provides diverse real-world engineering report templates and case studies across various engineering disciplines, demonstrating best practices for technical documentation.
- Integrates professional ethics throughout, ensuring engineers understand both the technical and moral responsibilities of creating accurate, clear documentation that protects public safety.
- Examines real-world engineering failures traced to documentation errors, providing critical lessons on how precise technical writing prevents costly mistakes and protects public safety.
