How would you find out how writing works in your Field?

In order to find out how writing works in the field of Mechanical Engineering, I would first research databases on my college website, and I would consult professors and upperclassmen who are majoring or who have majored in mechanical engineering. I began noticing how important communication is in mechanical engineering after I consulted the syllabus in my Mechanical Engineering 170 class. In the syllabus, it mentions how one of the course goals is to adequately describe our findings both orally and verbally. With these course objectives in mind, I would then contact my Mechanical Engineering 170 professor who has been a mechanical engineer for many years. She would most likely give me great real-life experience as to how communication is used in the mechanical engineering field. Lastly, I would research scholarly articles that pertain to mechanical engineering that come from accredited sources. This would also broaden the definition and application of communication in mechanical engineering.
