Communication by Design

An Engineer's Guide to Sharing Your Research

by Jack W. Baker

You don't need to become a charismatic artist to be a great communicator. You're already a world-class problem solver. This book shows you how to apply the systematic design process you already know to your papers, presentations, and proposals—ensuring your best technical work has the impact it deserves.

Drawing on the author's years of experience as a journal editor-in-chief and faculty mentor, Communication by Design reframes academic communication as an engineering problem: one with clear objectives, iterative prototyping, and testable outcomes.
