I agree with this that the thought process in technical writing in industry is always “if a random person picked up this document, could they understand how it works.” However, undergraduate doesn’t teach much technical industry writing because I believe, most technical writing is learned on the job. Therefore, I don’t believe it is necessary to have a class that teaches technical writing. Technical writing and understanding the content in written documents in industry are two different things. When writing documents, chances are there already exist the same exact or very similar document. In this instance, most work that needs to be done for it is really copy and pasting and creating minor edits for your purpose. Understanding the content of what is written in documents and other peoples writing just comes with experience over time.
