Report Writing Guide
for Engineers
The Report Writing Guide for Engineers (RWG) is designed to help engineering students develop effective report-writing skills, leading to clearer, more precise, and professional communication—an essential asset for success in the engineering workplace.
Technical report writing varies across engineering disciplines and can have differing stakeholder expectations, making a universal standard difficult to establish. The RWG seeks to bridge these differences by outlining widely accepted norms and standards for effective writing.
Mastering technical report writing involves understanding and effectively applying these norms and standards. Consistency enhances clarity and coherence, and it also benefits students in collaborative settings by providing a unified framework for producing team-based project reports. |

but it is engineering that changes the world.” - Isaac Asimov American writer, professor of biochemistry |
