The Making Sense series offers clear, concise guides to research and writing for students at all levels of undergraduate study. The volumes in the Making Sense series - covering the humanities courses, social sciences, life sciences, engineering, psychology, religious studies, and education - are intended for students in any undergraduate course with a research and writing component, but are especially appropriate for those at the first-year level.

Intended for engineering and physical science students, Making Sense in Engineering and the Physical Sciences provides detailed information on writing summaries, lab reports, and proposals; conducting research and using academic sources; grammar, punctuation, and usage; conducting presentations; using graphics; and more. This revised edition includes more information on including graphics in notes, formal writing, and presentations, as well as updated content on writing for an audience, creating strong oral presentations, and preparing for tests, exams, and life after post-secondary education.
