Writing in the Field of Engineering Archie A. Kipp University of Iowa The Role of Writing in Engineering When people think of engineering they generally don’t tend to associate the profession with writing. Most engineers themselves don’t imagine themselves needing to be a proficient writer or having to structure their writing for different purposes. As an undecided major I was curious as to how writing was utilized in a career path that I was considering in Engineering. Vice President of Technology Services at Burns Engineering, David Kipp, volunteered to talk about how writing is present in his daily activities. He claims that “25-30 percent” of his day consists of writing which he never expected when he entered decided to follow the path towards Electrical Engineering.

Connecting on an intimate level and having meaningful relationships is essential to having a significant life and being human. Some research suggests that this connection that we all seek is more accessible to better looking people.              Social exchange theory is an idea conceived by George Homons, that suggests that most relationships are continued based on a weighing of costs and benefits (Cherry, 2015). If a cost is very high and the benefits appear to be low, then we may cut that relationship off, or make some sort of change. The prisoner’s dilemma is a concept of social exc...
