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.
Some of you may remember a discussion on a proposed TC syllabus and the version proposed by Andrew Plato which included basics science, maths etc. Iâve just been looking at some old ISTC journals that theyâve now put on-line and one (1968) had a suggested course plan for a BSc in Communication Technology that I thought might raise a smileâ Doesnât seem too far away from what was suggested by Mr Plato (general gist!)
