Heck, at the University of Wisconsin, the Tech Comm Minor *is* part of the
Engineering department. Therefore, it's mostly engineers that take it, but
a few failed ChemEng/newly-turned English majors like myself sneak in
through the back way (really liked the science, couldn't give a fig for
the engineering, in case you were wondering). It also does require
technical and business courses, but I'm concerned that these requirements
don't go far enough for the few English majors accepted (most of the
engineering students already have taken and passed the basic tech/business
courses needed). The eternal dilemma....
