Act well thy part: performing technical writer and engineer

N. Amare

Abstract

This article presents communication strategies for technical writers and engineers. These strategies are developed from applying Erving Goffman's social interaction theories to the technical writer/engineer relationship. These strategies should also help dispel some of the criticisms that engineers and technical writers have of each other.
