When I was a senior in college (1999-2000) at a "small liberal arts college" and working on my senior project my advisor asked me if I had ever taken a course in technical writing. My response was no, even though it was in the catalog it was rarely offered since there were so few students that would sign up for it any given term.

Most B.S. students, myself included, simply took the required English courses and never looked back at that department.

As a high school teacher now, I make it a point to show my students the different writing expectations and work with them to see the differences between a paper for Science and one for English.
