One of the skills that is mostly taken for granted is technical writing. As engineers, we are not only solving problems but working with new products, nevertheless, documentation of your work is also critical. It really does not matter if you are creating a new work instruction or a DCR or a SOP, the way in which these documents are written must be concise, clear and understandable and repeatable for anyone that have to pick up on you work.

Now my question to you guys is: Have you guys had any experience at work in which you came across documentation that is not understandable or doesn’t make sense? Do you feel that in your undergraduate you were not exposed to a good level of technical writing in which made it hard to transition into your first full time position?
