It really doesn't. I got an engineering degree without taking a single technical writing course. Not counting short physics lab write-ups, I think I wrote a single technical paper during undergrad.
- tekla 3y agoYou didn't do a capstone project? My capstone was half engineering, half technical report writing. The engineering section was considered worthless unless you wrote a acceptable report. Nobody cares about what you built unless you can write a proper report about it. How is that possible?
- thfuran 3y agoYeah, that project was the one paper, but there was essentially no focus on technical writing in the course. And even if it were half on technical writing, half of a single semester is hardly a major focus for a degree program. It's rather underemphasized.
