Some coworkers of mine used to teach an in-house class
titled, "Effective Technical Writing." The audience was
mostly engineers and chemists, often from the field camps.
They developed their own workbook, based on exampled stolen
from their own experiences or education, and each student
received the _Handbook of Technical Writing_ by Brusaw, Alred,
and Oliu.
BTW, when Business Writing was the subject, the students received
the _Handbook of Business Writing_ by the same authors.
The Handbooks make a handy leave-with-'em reference because of
their encyclopediac organization.
