Ultimately, the College of Engineering Style Guide should help to clarify and standardize all writing within the College of Engineering.

The College has chosen the Associated Press Stylebook (AP Stylebook) as its official reference in matters of style and grammar. The College of Engineering Style Guide includes items that:

• Are specific to the College and either don't appear in the AP Stylebook
• Are exceptions to AP Stylebook rules
• Do appear in the AP Stylebook  but are repeated, here, because writers reference - or should reference - them frequently

Please be aware that the AP Stylebook and text in this manuscript are guides, nothing more. There are always exceptions to rules. Occasions arise where strict adherence to these guidelines would yield unreadable and/or unsightly manuscripts. In these cases, use your judgment. If a question arises that's particularly difficult to answer, consult the Office of Advancement, Media and Marketing.

Finally, please be aware that a style guide is organic - it changes and grows constantly. If you encounter a situation that neither this guide nor the AP Stylebook covers, contact the Office of Advancement, Communications and Marketing. We'll make a judgment, then include the item in the next update of this guide.
