Abstract :
The Eindhoven Psycholinguistic Communication Curriculum (EPCC), which has been designed to incorporate cooperation between industry and academia, is described. EPCC is a teaching program for `Technology & Communication´ (8 sem., M.S.) and `Technology & Linguistics´ (4 sem., Ph.D.) at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The Ph.D. stage involves specialization in terminology and business negotiations (high-technology, multiculture, multilanguage). The M.S. stage offers engineering and advanced communication (native and non-native technical writing and languages, high-technology negotiations, psycholinguistics). Industrial internships for communication research are provided
