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.
To all technical writers who have Masters degrees:
I recently had a question presented to me regarding getting a masters in tech-
writing. Being a lowly soon-to-graduate undergraduate I hadn't thought too
much about getting a masters degree quite yet.
If any of you professional sorts could recommend some good graduate programs
that would be useful to a technical writer I would appreciate it. I am also
intereseted in finding out which schools have these programs.
On another note, my husband is a mechanical engineer and is on a
mech-e listserv. While reading over my husbands shoulder last night, I read a
note by another engineer who was threatening to quit the mech-e listserv
because he felt mechanical engineers were being way too serious and stuffy.
After following some of the humorous subjects on the techwr-l I am glad to
know tech-writers aren't too serious and stuffy!
