Described here is a workshop that is designed to help you (the engineer, scientist, or technical professional) document your research. The workshop has three goals: (1) to teach you the major differences between strong and weak research writing; (2) to make the process of writing research documents more efficient for you; and (3) to give you feedback on a research document that you are writing. The workshop consists of lectures, discussions, exercises, and critique sessions.
