Make Your Technical Reports "People Oriented"

Make Your Technical Reports "People Oriented" Must a technical report be a pyrotechnic display of intricate facts, figures, and tables? Far too many engineering personnel submit logically complete, technically correct reports--which efficiently put the reader to sleep. Analysis of the technical report shows that its functional parts are designed for different classes of readership, each having different needs and technical skill levels.

Abstract

Must a technical report be a pyrotechnic display of intricate facts, figures, and tables? Far too many engineering personnel submit logically complete, technically correct reports--which efficiently put the reader to sleep. Analysis of the technical report shows that its functional parts are designed for different classes of readership, each having different needs and technical skill levels. Writing your material while focussing on its intended audience instead of a piece of equipment, will vastly increase reader comprehension and minimize the stereotyped image of the dull report. Also, the resultant time saved for the reader represents a cost saving which justifies the slight extra attention given by the writer.
