TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Are you an E or E Engineer?
Do you need to be one, to join IEEE?
The closest I can come is a 2400 hour diploma in Electronic Technology
[Digital option] (Technologist was a step up from technician, and a step
down from Engineer) that was outdated before I completed it in 1981...
I thought I needed it _after_ university, in order to become employable
in a field that interested me..., but I wasn't willing to go back (and
deeper in debt) for a full engineering degree - I also have the kind of
skin that printers ink doesn't readily come out of (old engineering
hazing ritual at some schools) :-)
