 Engineers
Can Write! — Thoughts on Writing from Contemporary
Literary Engineers
This new IEEE-USA E-Book features engineers
whose success in the literary world — including
award-winning poetry, short stories and novels — is
as strong an argument as you will find to any claims
that engineers can't write. Tom Moran, author of
Engineers Can Write!, explores differences and
similarities between writing and engineering, and
offers some tips for conceptualizing writing to
improve reports, articles, proposals and other
documents.

 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.
