Abstract :
Technical communication for engineering students should focus on the real demands of professional communication in the workplace. Since 1893, engineering educators have called for education in "engineering English," and today technical communication faculty are partners in delivering appropriate courses. This paper describes one successful junior-level course at Mercer University.
