It appears to me that all who have responded so far to
Ted's question are staring at the tree versus looking
at the entire beautiful forest. Technical Writing
exists outside the "Engineering" arena. For example,
ISO, INDs, TCTO and/or GMP Technical Writing are just
as valid as SW/HW Technical Writing. I think a degree
in Technical Communications should require a variety
of courses including: Math, Chemistry, Physics,
Psychology, Business Administration, Education,
Journalism, English, etc.. As to whether or not the
Technical Communications degree should be a BS or a
BA, well that is another can of worms - for another
time.
