TW Training Topics???

[Al Barten <barten -at- MMFES1 -dot- PSF -dot- GE -dot- COM>]

A colleague of mine is preparing an introductory in-house tech-writing
course for engineers. If you were volunteering to take (or had to give)
such a course, what are the ten most important topics you would like to
see covered? (I.e., what are the major stumbling blocks to clear writing
that you've observed with yourself, your colleagues, or your students?)
For context, what is your role in tech writing? Any comments?

I will be glad to summarize and post the results when they are in.

Thanks in advance,
