Although programs and courses frequently are titled
“technical and scientific communication, ” often the
scientific part is shifted to the science classes many
students are required to take. All technical communication
students, but especially those who are targeting a
career in scientific communication, should be made
aware of scientific principles and practices that apply to
technical communication. Educators might add information
about technical proposals, empirical research
reports, regulations, basic abbreviations and definitions
of statistics, research methods used in the sciences, and
the scientific style described in style manuals to the
materials they regularly teach.

aware of scientific principles and practices that apply to
