What Words Are Capitalized? Writing Consultant Presentation EG 1003: Intro to Engineering and Design Polytechnic Institute of NYU

What words are capitalized? Follow typographic conventions Capitalize “proper” nouns Leave “generic” nouns in lowercase

Conventions about capital letters First word of a sentence (sentence case) Precision is the repeatability of a result. Acronyms LED, LabVIEW Boolean operators and terms from computer languages AND, OR, and NOT (use format of the language) “Important words” of a title (title case) Lab 3: Product Evaluation and Quality Improvement

What makes a word “important”? War of the Worlds A Long Day’s Journey into Night Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Despicable Me I Am Legend Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Rebel Without a Cause

Use title case for labels The Title of a Report Section Heading for a Report Figure 1: Title for Graph/Chart Column Head Row Label The data More data Yet more And more

What words are capitalized? Follow typographic conventions Capitalize “proper” nouns Leave “generic” nouns in lowercase

What is a proper noun? Name of a specific person, place, or thing Has a finite existence (lifetime) People and places George Boole Adjectives named after people Boolean equation Trademarks Styrofoam, Lego Official names of organizations Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Unit symbols can be tricky Generic units not capitalized m, cm, mm In the U.S.,1 liter often a capital L Heinrich Hertz – source of “hertz” mHz Alexander Graham Bell – “decibel” dB Michael Faraday, Alessandro Volta F, V Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, Anders Celsius ºF, ºC 1 National Institute for Standards and Technology, “Guide for the Use of the International System of Units,” retrieved 31 January 2011 from nist.gov.

What words are capitalized? Follow typographic conventions Capitalize “proper” nouns Leave “generic” nouns in lowercase

No definite lifespan = no capital Spelled out words of an acronym light emitting diode, data acquisition board Components or elements copper, magnesium, piezoelectric film Descriptive labels of places high school, laboratory General concepts or ideas precision, electromagnetism, design ratio, sum of products

Some examples The team is building a bomb disarming robot. The robot is called Detonator. Then, precision and accuracy were calculated. Today, reverse engineering has many uses. The first step was to make a truth table. The lecture was given by Prof. Doucette. Give the professor your work. The kits are manufactured by Texas Instruments. My favorite book is Keys for Writers. This is pretty clear.

Things to remember Most common error is add a capital where it does not belong Important thing is be consistent: Titles of slides throughout the presentation Bulleted lists on a slide Headings of a report section Parts of a table Labels in a diagram This is pretty clear.
