This book helps creating Technical Reports. It contains many practical examples. it is based on the 8th German edition published by Springer Vieweg and is now published by Springer as 2nd edition in English. It answers questions of practitioners and engineering students occurring when writing Technical Reports or preparing presentations. These questions refer to content as well as formal aspects. Such questions occur during the whole work on the report or presentation from the beginning to the end. Therefore this book is designed as a guideline or manual "How to write Technical Reports". It is ordered by timeline along the process of writing Technical Reports into the three phases planning, creation, and finishing.The 2nd edition was fundamentally changed and adopted to modern presentation levels using all kinds of electronic devices. The following sections have been reduced or skipped: Tables, Scheme and diagram, Perspective drawing, Technical drawing and bill of materials, Pictorial re-arrangement of text, Copyright and copyright laws, Details about text accentuation, Automatic creation of indexes, tables, lists, labels and cross-references, Creating slides with presentation graphics programs.
