Technical Foul: The Growing Communication Gap Between Specialists and the Rest of Us.
Woolever, Kristin R.
Connection: New England's Journal of Higher Education and Economic Development, v13 n3 p28-30 Fall 1998
The most important skill for technical professionals is the ability to communicate technology and it is the skill in shortest supply in science and technology. While some colleges in New England offer bachelor's degrees and certificates in technical communication, none offer a doctoral degree; in general, students are not trained to speak or write in their fields of specialization.
