The Usenet sci.engr.* family of newsgroups

The one-line description of sci.engr is "technical discussions of engineering tasks." That's translated over eleven-plus years and dozens of spinoff groups into discussions of topics like those given in the FAQs here, as well as computer software, jobs, reference books, measurement devices, methodologies, working environments, and almost everything else the engineer faces.

Unfortunately, the newsgroups have been increasingly flooded over the years with spam, to the point where they are no longer suitable for most engineers to use.


Ron Graham's Rhetoric for Engineers and Other Practical People

...is available FREE! You can use the online version HERE, or you can have an e-book copy of your own, so you can use it without connecting to the Internet! All you have to do is give your name and e-mail address and you can have it! If you want it now, send e-mail to rgraham AT tcnj DOT edu!

Are you having trouble with any of this?

The solutions to all these problems are based in rhetoric -- the art of argument. The free e-book, Rhetoric for Engineers and Other Practical People will help you, but if it's not enough, let ME help you. I'm available for consultation, and I've got experience in all these areas. But don't take my word for it. Look over the book first. If the book doesn't give you some idea of what I can do, just ignore me. But if the book has some value, imagine what the writer can give!

Have you ever wondered

The answers to these questions have been the study of my life for the last four years. My blog, start me up!, has been condensed into a 300-page e-book, and you can have it. If that's not enough, let ME help you. I'm available for consultation, and I've got experience in all these areas. But don't take my word for it. Look over the book first.
