Working to boost your writing skills improves communication, minimizes mistakes and paves the way to management promotions. Even the most specialized of engineers can help themselves—and their customers—by remembering the three E’s of technical writing: energy, empathy and editing.
Don’t be ashamed to infuse your technical writing with energy. If you are documenting something you have designed, channel that pride into the text and share your enthusiasm. Sharing your energy through the written word makes the reader feel “in” rather than “out” when it comes to your design vision.
