S. Kathryn Jiménez Boyd (asker) Feb 4, 2020:
Another sentence in the text says:
2.3.5 INFORME PARA LOS ANÁLISIS DE ACCIDENTES
El suministrador entregará un informe o carta de ingeniería, que identifique los parámetros requeridos para la realización de los análisis de accidentes...

Which is why I didn't want to use "report", because I figured there had to be another word for it. But "engineering letter" doesn't sound right to me, so I think I'll just go with "engineering report" for both. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a particular type of report with a particular name. Thanks neilmac!

OK, since I'm getting no agrees, here's some more suggestions.
"Carta" can sometimes be translated as "letter", but I don't think that's appropriate in the context. It can also be translated as "chart", and a Google search for "engineering chart" gets more than 1/4 of a million results. However, without further information, I still think that my original suggestion is probably the best option.

"When creating an engineering chart, whether you are using Excel or using freehand methods, you must include proper labels with proper units for each axis."
