The Inadequacies of Technical Reporting

Reynolds Macchi New Jersey Institute of Technology

Abstract

The advancements of science and engineering which are reported by oral and written modes have become overcomplicated. The message of reporting clearly defines the problem at hand; however, reporting inadequacies have prevented that message from reaching the public. Reporting in the past has suffered due to strong censorship and ignorance from learning about technical contributions in society. Progress has been made through art and increased faith in scientific discoveries which were monumental enough to have wakened man's mind. Through the institutional changes in our education programs, technical reporting will become adequate and allow mankind to live with a mutual understanding.
