 Take a look at this post in the archives (and the discussion around it).

Bonnie Granat's description of the classical view of the field of technical writing is dead on.

I am in the midst of writing a grant proposal for further training in 
the technical communication field.  Since the people reading the grant 
are most familiar with the very old definition of "technical writer" 
from the DOL:

/"Write technical materials, such as equipment manuals, appendices, or /

/operating and maintenance instructions. May assist in layout work."/


I've been asked to research and write a description of the field as it 
actually is, including the technical and design skills often required.
