I disagree. STEM majors should have to take at least a couple of writing courses as part of a university degree (I had to take two: English Comp and Technical Writing). I'm freaking tired of trying to decipher some of the poorly written documentation produced by my fellow software engineers.
- samtho 9y agoAssuming your fellow engineers are college educated, you've just invalidated your own point. The required writing has obviously not helped them.
- Retric 9y agoThey could be worse without the training. Remember most people have 12+ years of learning how to write, a few college classes are only going to do so much.
- kermittd 9y agoThere we go right here. In theory people say engineers need to write cleary,accurately, whatever adverb is used to describe it in order to get a job etc. I wonder how many engineers get hired for their writing ability? In fact I bet a college educated engineer or at least one who went to college writes well enough as to not interfere with their work.
