Communication Patterns of Engineers brings together,summarizes, and analyzes the research on how engineers communicate,presenting benchmark data and identifying gaps in the existingresearch. Written by two renowned experts in this area, the text:
* Compares engineering communication patterns with those ofscience and medicine
* Offers information on improving engineering communicationskills, including the use of communication tools to addressengineering departments' concerns about the inadequacies ofcommunication by engineers
* Provides strong conclusions to address what lessons engineeringeducators, librarians, and communication professionals can learnfrom the research presented
