How do you start?

• Consider
• Yourself
• Your topic
• Your audience

You

• You are the expert.
• You are not taking an exam!

14
Your topic

• What is it?
• Why should your audience be interested in it?

  more than six lines)

IMPORTANT! ! ! !

• Engineers and engineering students face many
  challenges throughout their studies. For many
  engineers, the greatest challenge seems to come
  when they try to put the results of their
  engineering efforts into the form of a scientific
  article. Some of them recall starting out in
  engineering and how relieved they were when
  they started working with numbers instead of
  words. They think back on how they made their
  career choices pondering upon formulas and
  working with concrete problems was the future for
  the engineer, working with words was relegated to
  English majors. Suddenly they find themselves in
  an intimidating position before them is a
  computer with a blank screen, waiting for the
  words to fall into place. Unfortunately, for most
  of us engineers or not those words simply do
  not fall into place. But, also unfortunately,
  there is no sense in carrying out scientific work
  if that work does not get published. This is
  where I come in. I teach a course called
  Scientific Publication. to graduate students in
  engineering. The aim of the course is to provide
  the students with the opportunity to write
  various types of scientific texts, with emphasis
  on the genre of the primary scientific article.
• When engineers take a writing course, their main
  interest is in learning how to write a proper
  scientific article in English. It is important
  that engineers become a part of their own
  discourse community, and one of the ways to
  take part in the community of engineers is by
  writing like other engineers. They must learn the
  proper scientific genres.
• Thanks to writing researchers such as John
  Swales, Greg Myers, Charles Bazerman, Carol
  Berkenkotter and Thomas Huckin and many more, we
  have a great deal of information about how
  various scientific articles are written for
  various scientific fields. These researchers have
  analyzed thousands of scientific articles and
  have provided us with everything from basic
  patterns for the global structure of articles
  (IMRAD Introduction, Material and Method,
  Results And Discussion) to local structure (e.g.
  Swales model for introductions, CARS Create A
  Research Space (Swales, 199, p. 140)). Corpus
  studies have provided us with information about
  such details as the placement of new information
  in a sentence (Halliday) and the typical use of
  verb tense in specific sections of an article
  (e.g. in Penrose and Katz, 1998, p. 35).

Make it easy to read

• Line spacing is important, especially when you
  have more than one line of text in an entry.
• Line spacing is important, too, especially when
  you have more than one line of text in an entry.

• White is becoming common
