Structuring Engineering Reports And Proposals

By Annabelle Holman


Communication is important in all fields of education. This is the primary and most use mode of evaluation where the students or learners have to show their understanding on a subject matter through communicating in one way or the other. For engineering students, one major way of being tested is by writing engineering reports and proposals on a certain research topic or agenda.

Report writing is also done in the formal sector of employment where prominent and skilled engineers have to give their proposals on certain aspects of their work. The above pieces of literature are in most cases expected to be quite technical to say the least. The expert or student who is expected to come up with a report or a proposal should have vast knowledge in the subject field and discipline.

Therefore, a lot of things have to be considered before one decides to sit down and come up an engineering report or proposal. A qualified person is the one charged with the responsibility of doing the writing itself. Someone who does not have sound knowledge and understanding of concepts in the subject field of specialization cannot be able to put across viable facts or information.

Planning in most cases refers to the process of jotting down a plot or a rough structure of the components of your proposal or report. This is to make sure that a person does not start writing and then lack content to finish up the work when still in the middle of the report or proposal. One does not want to find themselves hanging midway through the process of writing.

This research is known to form the basis of the contents of the subject report or proposal. The main goal of composing such reports and proposals is to justify the results of a certain piece of work that has been done. The other aim of doing all of this work may be to express an idea on a particular concept that may be in contention in the engineering sector.

The other common need to write these pieces of literature is to pass on new inventions and innovations to the general public. A report can be used to convey new ideas about a certain concepts in the scientific and mathematical fields of specializations. The same goes for new inventions across the mechanical industry. Digital technology is gradually becoming more and more advanced as each day goes by.

The ability to express the research work one has done in the engineering field in a report or proposal is very important for all experts and professionals in the above industrial sector. Experienced engineers who are working in the industry are normally required to come up with detailed and comprehensive proposals on projects that they are engaging in. This is just part and parcel of the day to day work schedule of an engineer.

All technical writing rules and regulations need to be followed to the letter. All the references that have been made when coming up with the subject work need to be cited properly and accurately. No form of plagiarism is accepted when composing the subject work and such occurrence of this nature is termed as unprofessional and unethical by all means possible.
