Writing Style in Computer & Software Engineering

Overview

At the sentence level, every discipline has different expectations in regard to what constitutes "good writing." Some fields, for instance, encourage use of the first-person "I" voice while other fields require that you avoid it entirely. Some disciplines encourage use of the passive voice while others strongly prefer the active voice in almost all situations.

This page addresses sentence-level conventions that are common when writing at the graduate level in the field of Computer & Software Engineering.
