1. Re-write the following sentence so that it exemplifies parallel structure.
As project manager, I am responsible for communicating with team members, the organization of
meetings, and also to solve any communication issues that may arise.
2. For the following 2 sentences, first highlight instances of hyperbole (exaggerated statements). Then, re-write the sentences to showcase proper technical writing.
Our design team’s goal is to ensure that Adel Mathematics is the most efficient building ever. Currently, Sechrist Hall’s energy usage is utterly terrifying to the design team.
3. For the following 2 sentences, first highlight instances of vague or colloquial (conversational) speech. Then, re-write the sentences to showcase proper technical writing.
Energy efficiency is big in the world of lighting now-a-days.
Meetings with the client have been crucial to our success this semester, and we always get a whole lot of information.
4. For the following multiple-choice question, highlight all the answers that are true of IEEE citation formatting.
a. Reference citation numbers are assigned based on author’s last name (alphabetical order)
b. Reference citation numbers are assigned in order of appearance (as they appear in-text)
c. Once a reference is assigned a citation number, the citation number never changes
d. Citation numbers are written within brackets in-text, but without brackets on the Reference page
5. Re-format the following two references so that they exemplify proper IEEE citation formatting.

6. For the following text, first explain what is incorrect regarding the organization of information.
Then, re-write the text to showcase proper technical writing.
A biomedical engineer is crucial to the success of the design project. Also crucial to the success of the
design project is a neurosurgeon. An electrical engineer is yet another profession that is crucial to the success of the design project.
7. For the following 2 sentences, first identify which of the 4 Rhetorical Moves the sentence exemplifies. Then, explain how you were able to identify the move.
[1. Establish Common Ground; 2. Destabilizing Condition; 3. Cost/Benefits Analysis; 4. Main Point] However, though campus bike paths are generally safe for use during the day, at night they can be
dangerous for students to use due to lack of lighting.
In 2007, Northern Arizona University (NAU) pledged to make the campus carbon-neutral by the year 2020.
8. For the following two sentences, identify whether they are punctuated correctly. If a sentence is punctuated incorrectly, explain why. Then, re-write the sentence to showcase proper punctuation.
For my literature review, I will discuss research relating to HVAC systems.
In the early stages of our design project, our team will focus on: research, feasibility, and conceptualization.
