Writing for Planners, Engineers and Policymakers

UC Davis ExtensionSacramento, CA

Engineers, planners and other professionals require a high degree of technical writing skill to prepare a variety of documents, including reports, proposals, formal letters and emails. Although engineers and planners often lack training in the craft of effective writing, their documents must contain clear and concise language to be effective.

Discover how to increase conciseness and clarity of technical documents by learning skills related to audience needs, document organization, paragraph development and powerful sentences. Acquire practical skills that you can use immediately to prepare high-quality documents. Strengthen your skills through a series of short writing exercises, and examine examples of good and bad writing and the effect that both can have on the success of a project.
