In this two part workshop, we address the challenges of conveying your research story in a persuasive way for technical and nontechnical stakeholders. We will focus on various writing forms in engineering that include organization and interpretation of results. These will include technical/non-technical reports, results & discussion sections or articles and theses, and similar types of writing projects.

Specifically participants will practice and discuss strategies for:

  • Choosing an appropriate structure for reporting and commenting on data
  • Effectively organizing data commentaries
  • Integrating figures and visuals in reports
  • Structuring and revising reports

This workshop is facilitated by Dr. Katie Homar of NC State.
