Having completed my undergrad at NJIT, the only place we experience forms of technical writing was doing lab reports for various classes, but the documentations you’re referring to was only in Capstone. I do agree that there should be a required class in technical writing, that would help in the work environment. I was fortunate enough that my first job at a generic manufacturing company, I worked adjacent to a consultant we had hired, to do technical documentation. Him and I became friends, and he took me under his wing, and showed me the ropes of how to go about it. Most people who enter the field of technical writing, usually go to private classes, that teaches one specifically in writing documents for pharma, medical devices, and other various FDA regulated industries. If you are interested in such things, feel free to contact me and I can let you know when the next set of classes are, they’re a little pricey, but worth it, especially if its something you are considering doing as a career. Also as you put in more time in such industry, your library of previous documents will increase, rendering basic writing very easy.
