Mechanical Engineering: Info and writing guide for the curious student

Sample Documents (or links to them)

I wanted to put sample documents onto my website, but I did not want to infringe on anyone's work or copyrighted material. So, here is a list of links to some sample documents you can find on the internet.

ANSYS Short Course by Tim Langlais; A guide to a software system used to analyze limited resources, and other mathematical problems.

Mechanical Engineer Blog; This site shows a training document, laying out brake system information. This blog owner has many other reports, with links to them all in the right hand column.

Specification and Design of Solar Ultraviolet Simulators by Daniel S. Berger; This document discusses a new tool, at the time, that had been developed for artificially stimulating the skins U.V. responses. The article is old, but it is a good illustration of using graphs in documents.

As you check out these different documents, notice how each is written, in regards to the layout of the document, the reading level, and the subject matter. You will find these documents all grammatically center around the objects they are talking about, as discussed earlier. They also use certain techniques to break up the reading, which we will discuss in the next section.
