Professional Tone  Respect your readers  Maintain gender neutrality  Discuss only the professional situation

Readers have different backgrounds Omit local idioms and sayings “bootleg parts” “inauthentic components” “the most bang for the buck” “the best return on the investment” Provide generic explanations of trade names “the Mindstorms kit” “the Mindstorms kit, a modular construction set used to create programmable toys”

Readers are professionals Avoid contractions“don’t,” “can’t” “do not,” “cannot” Substitute colloquial ideas with professional terms “need to keep the heat in” “need to reduce heat loss” “program was full of bugs” “program had many errors” “new model was a lot better” “new model was improved by 15%” Use figure numbers instead of pointing “as shown here in this chart:” “as shown in Figure 1.”

Write as if you are professional Avoid educational goals The purpose of the lab was to learn about digital logic. The objective was to design and test an alarm system. Omit details specific to the school situation The design was approved by the TA. Use simple past testFirst, the truth table had to be created. Then, it was required to draw a simplified equation. First, the truth table was created. Then, a simplified equation was drawn.

“ You ” implies familiarity Avoid “you”When you use the formula, you find the result. When one uses the formula, the result is found. Avoid “your”It is important to test your design before putting it on the market. It is important to test a design before putting it on the market.

Professional Tone  Respect your readers  Maintain gender neutrality  Discuss only the professional situation

Use inclusive language When an engineer receives a product, he will be curious about how it works. This statement is sexist; not all engineers are men. When an engineer receives a product, they will be curious about how it works. Avoids sexism, but grammatically incorrect.

3 ways to avoid sexist pronouns. When engineers receive a product, they will be curious about how it works. Make the subject plural When an engineer receives a product, he/she will be curious about how it works. Use a slash or the word “or” When an engineer receives a product, curiosity develops about how it works. Rewrite the sentence When an engineer receives a product, he will be curious about how it works. Not all engineers are men

Discuss the professional situation  Omit feelings and opinions not backed up by facts  Avoid empty, redundant phrases like “ the team believes, ” “i t is concluded, ” or “ it was felt ”  Present a hypothesis and support it with data and observations
