This is not to say that engineers do not know the fundamentals of writing a report but rather, the skill set involved in trying to make a non -specialist understand the messages in a technical report is probably equivalent to trying to get a single language person to learn a second language overnight. Yet the technical report is fundamentally essential in any decision making process or how management passes a judgement; often involving millions of dollars potentially. in this 2 days highly practical workshop, much emphasis are placed on how engineers can make their reports easily understood by their readers, as well as examining the proper format and the flow of a good technical report.
