十二个目前流行的技术通信教科书进行了分析,他们的治疗和讨论的写作类型,工程师生产。分析揭示了对以人文为基础的风格和流派的持续偏见,以及未能解决我们的科学和工程专业的学生最需要掌握的论点和证据的形式,以在各自的领域取得成功。文章最后提出建议,并呼吁教师重新设想技术传播服务课程。
Twelve currently popular technical communication textbooks are analyzed for their treatment and discussions of the types of writing that engineers produce. The analysis reveals a persistent bias toward humanities-based styles and genres and a failure to address the forms of argument and evidence that our science and engineering students most need to master to succeed as rhetoricians in their fields. The essay ends with recommendations and calls upon instructors to reenvision the service course in technical communication.
