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.
Here at Drexel University, our Technical and Science Communication majors
take a variety of courses in different fields. In addition to required
courses such as technical writing (basic and advanced), science writing,
editing, desktop publishing, document design, communication theory, and 2
or 3 co-ops/internships, our students have to take technical courses beyond
the basic university requirements (in the sciences or engineering). We also
encourage them to take elective courses in areas such as corporate
communications, information science, programming, film and video
production, graphics/computer graphics.
So I would recommend that you look around your university for courses in
other degree programs that would enhance and extend your skills.
