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.
Adding to the list of degree programs, let me mention mine, a
Graduate Certificate in Technical Communication from the University of
Alabama in Huntsville. This is a 15-hour (5 course) program available
along with or separate from a master's program in any university
department.
A few years ago, Freda Stohrer and I did a survey of internships in
tech. com. for
*Technical Communication* (vol. 37.3, August 1990). We
included a 3-page table describing about 50 programs that responded
to our survey in 1989. It wasn't complete then, but it's a good place
to start in looking up programs geographically, while we await publication
of the STC directory of degree programs. (Ours lists both graduate and
undergraduatek programs, but many places who have undergrad programs
are adding graduate ones, and vice versa. My program was undergrad
only when I wrote that article.)
