  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the problem of teaching technical communications to engineering students and of how an engineering college can increase the quality of communications. First, students lacking prerequisites in basic English should be screened from such communications courses; the program should then consist of systematic instruction in technical writing and speaking principles augmented by continued exercise. An outline is given of the technical communications program at UCLA.
