#3 Types of Writing in Your Field

There's a few different kinds of writing required for my major and for my career. The first that comes to mind is the kind of writing would be in one the engineering journals/publications, like IEEE's. This kind of writing is very matter-of-fact and straight-forward. No extraneous information is provided if not needed. This kind of article usually details the efforts a group of people made toward achieving a goal and then documents their results. A lot of these are produced from academia.

Another kind might be popular articles found in something like IEEE Spectrum, which is IEEE's magazine. This kind of writing may be done by journalists or by engineers with strong writing skills, and may be speculative in nature. An example would be: http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/bionics/enhanced-imagination-drives-braincomputer-interface.

A third kind of writing would be documenting results of a design project for a client. A lot of points may be bulleted for brevity.
