Wouldn't you agree that the whole school is oriented toward technical rather
than literary?

First paragraph from their home page:

"It's academic at Rensselaer to think like a scientist, do like an
entrepreneur, create like an engineer, and turn an idea into a product that
will change people's lives. Read how our students, faculty, and alumni are
teaming up to change the world."

I put forth the premise that by having TechCom under engineering, you
attract a certain category of student...ones who think along a certain line,
and that line most condusive to technical communications.
