Technical Writing
exists outside the "Engineering" arena. For example,
ISO, INDs, TCTO and/or GMP Technical Writing are just
as valid as SW/HW Technical Writing. I think a degree
in Technical Communications should require a variety
of courses including: Math, Chemistry, Physics,
Psychology, Business Administration, Education,
Journalism, English, etc.. As to whether or not the
Technical Communications degree should be a BS or a
BA, well that is another can of worms - for another
time.

Another major area using technical writers right now is medical and drug
companies. Another big requirement in job ads is media or multimedia
requirements.

In view of the wide diversity of subject material, why not have Technical
Communications as a Communications major. That appears to be the only common
connection.
