This blog post concerns a revision of my QRG section, regarding when one would write in an engineering magazine.
When would I consider writing in an engineering magazine?
An engineering magazine is the light-hearted, more fun version of the scientific journal.
If you want to show somebody who doesn't know a lick about what engineering is, you would show them WIRED, which has a ton of interesting trinkets that would interest the average joe.
Here are the types of things that frequent engineering journals:
1) Pictures... lots of them!!!
2) Charts... statistics about what the best new gadget is
3) Quotes from famous engineers that we know about
4) Reviews from average users and "experts" about new devices
Engineering magazines are extremely helpful because it turns a general disinterest, or more likely, someone who is undecided how to feel, into the next avid supporter of DJI Phantom portable drones.
REVISITED VERSION
When would I consider utilizing an engineering magazine?
Use an engineering magazine to kindle someone's unlit interest in engineering!

Engineering magazines are extremely helpful because it turns a general disinterested person, or, more precisely, someone into the next avid supporter of the newest toy in the industry.
Engineering magazine help the casual reader make sense of engineering's place in society. Often people don't even know what engineers do - they think they only make bridges.
An effective engineering magazine "bridges" the gap between the interest in the subject and it's relationship to society.
In terms of my content revisions, I added the second bold sentence in order to draw the reader with a concise answer. Beforehand it looked like I was beating around the bush. I also added some more summary in order to make the document more scannable.
In terms of form revisions, I made sure that I maintained the fragmented approach. I didn't do any major editing in terms of the structure, but I did include a conclusion to "shape" the body.
