Abstract

Education in the field of technical communication has not kept pace with the growth of the profession. This is partially a result of an expected time lapse in the educational process for an emerging profession and partially due to mistaken attitudes. An examination of the qualifications of a professional technical communicator—i.e. a grasp of basic sciences, an understanding of communication theory and practice, and a sensitivity to people—provides the basis for a formal curriculum in technical communications.
