 Writing
For Sucess An Engineer's Guide Volume 2 The Road
to Excellence
Good
writing comes from hard, diligent work. Engineers
understand what that means in their profession. In
writing, that effort means giving our writing a
close read, and testing it in every way. As in our
engineering efforts, these tests are conducted to
identify problems. And when problems are found, we
must then develop effective solutions. With writing,
these tests involve using our critical eye to detect
any aspects of our writing that are unclear, wordy,
vague, inaccurate, missing, or unneeded. We
understand the purpose of our writing and read it,
edit, rewrite and reread it, until we are sure it
accomplishes that purpose as directly and
effectively as possible.

 Leading and Managing Engineering and Technology -
Book 1 - Perspectives on Leading and Managing
The
competencies needed to lead and manage continue to
be misunderstood. As a society, we focus on
leadership as demonstrated by politicians, industry
executives and individual effort related to some
major accomplishment. This book discusses managing
and leading as related to technical professionals
and their managers.

 Writing
For Success An Engineer's Guide Volume 1
This book
is not a technical writing text. Its purpose is to
serve as an inspiration and guide to help engineers
approach their writing tasks with the same
confidence and skill that they take to the technical
problems that confront them so that emails, reports,
test-plans, and other documents they write are as
useful and successful and valued as their
engineering efforts.

 Technical Presentations Book
4: Supplement Effective Visual Aids
Given that individuals gather, learn and retain

provide strong visual tools and increase the
audience's retention of your core message. Learn how
to supplement your presentation with effective
PowerPoint slides or other visual aids.

IEEE-USA Unemployment Survey Report
The IEEE-USA Employment Assistance Committee has
continued its interest in developing a better
understanding of the problem of unemployment among
older engineers by conducting a survey of unemployed
engineers. This report of results is organized into
four sections. The first section reports the
percentage distribution or means response for each
of the questions in the survey. The second section
reports the results of selected cross tabulations
that focus on age and various aspects of employment
status. The third section reports the results of a
multivariate analysis that focuses on the impact of
age on the duration of unemployment, when other
factors are held constant. The final section
compares some of the current results to those in
1995, 1996, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008.

IEEE-USA Salary & Fringe Benefits Survey
The 2010 IEEE-USA Salary & Fringe Benefits
Survey is the 23rd compensation study IEEE-USA has
published. The aim of the project is to provide
timely information on current and long-term trends
related to the income, salary and benefits of IEEE
members in the United States. This information is
critical for accurate understanding of compensation
practices in this profession, including how those
practices impact individual engineers.

Profile of IEEE Consultants
IEEE-USA has conducted surveys focusing on the
compensation of consultants in 2002, 2004, 2006,
2007, and 2009. Other than 2009, these were
standalone surveys, and they were not a part of the
overall Salary & Fringe Benefits Surveys. In 2009,
for the first time, the two survey efforts were
combined. As a result, the sampling frame and
qualifying definition of "consultant" were changed
from previous implementations. And this year, the
results were further filtered to those consultants
who also indicated they were employed in their
primary area of technical competence (PATC). Not
only is the current definition different
(consultants are now defined as primarily fee-based
and self-employed full or part time and), but the
PATC restriction does not apply this year either.

 Technical
Presentations Book 1: Strategy Preparation and
Planning
Engineers and scientists are frequently required to
present technical information to a broad spectrum of
individuals, including co-workers, executives and
potential clients in a variety of formats, such as
conference papers, training materials and funding
proposals. Even if you do not present conference
papers or other formal presentations, you must
present your ideas and opinions daily, in a clear
and concise manner. Without a strategy and
appropriate preparation, a presentation will be
unfocused, not apply, or fail completely. Book 1 of
this four-book series outlines a framework to help
you prepare for your next presentation.

Profile of IEEE Consultants
As a consultant is preparing a proposal or
negotiating a contract, one of the primary concerns
is deciding how much to charge. To establish a fixed
price or a fee that is both competitive and fair,
the consultant needs to know what other consultants
working in similar fields charge. In response to
this need, the Alliance of IEEE Consultants Networks
(AICN) conducts national fee surveys of its members.
This 2009 Profile of IEEE Consultants provides the
profile of typical self-employed and independent
technical consultants, including their education,
experience, business practices, median earnings and
hourly fee.
