Charles P. (Chuck) Campbell
Ideology of Technical Communication
A technical communication program should offer students experience with the kinds of situations they will encounter as professionals: working in groups, using visual design to enhance good writing, and meeting production deadlines. Technical communicators are better able to adapt to new challenges from acquaintance with good writing and with a variety of theoretical perspectives.Professional Background
