Summary:	Technical topics in science and engineering always present challenges when it comes to conveying or arguing information in a clear and effective manner. This book was written to address that challenge, using time-proven techniques developed by the author for academic courses and onsite training programs he has used for several decades at engineering schools, design and professional conferences.

Description
Summary:	Unlike other engineering dictionaries that tend to focus only on narrow and arcane technical words, this dictionary explains the major, commonly used words found in engineering documents and drawings, and explains them in plain, unambiguous English. It also explains how some terms take on different meanings in different engineering contexts--vital when working on collaborative projects across different engineering disciplines. Based on a dictionary that was developed for engineers and technicians at Lockheed Martin. Each definition written in clear, everyday English to avoid confusing jargon and "techno-speak" problems.
