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.
I'd like to add Michigan Tech (located in the upper peninsula of Michigan)
to the list of degree programs, which has the largest undergraduate program
in scientific and technical communication in the country (well over 100
students), a master's degree in rhetoric and technical communication (over
30 students), and a PhD in rhetoric and technical communication (over 40
students). If anyone wants specific information about these programs,
respond to my personal mail and I'll be glad to send it along.
