Charles,
Sorry, but engineers and good, clear, concise writing do not typically
run together.
Way back in engineering school, I had a 'Western Civilization" class
professor who was bold enough to tell his sophomore class of EE students
that *his* class was the most important in the curriculum. That
statement generated a lot of snickers and side comments. Then over my
years of real world engineering experience, I found that writing and a
knowledge of history were indeed the major required assets of any good
engineer - one must be able to communicate effectively with
non-engineering types.
Unfortunately, that fact is usually learned "too little, too late" and
only in the 'school of hard knocks'.
73,
