The Eindhoven Psycholinguistic Communication Curriculum (EPCC), which has been designed to incorporate cooperation between industry and academia, is described. EPCC is a teaching program for 'Technology & Communication' (8 sem., M.S.) and 'Technology & Linguistics' (4 sem., Ph.D.) at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The Ph.D. stage involves specialization in terminology and business negotiations (high-technology, multiculture, multilanguage). The M.S. stage offers engineering and advanced communication (native and non-native technical writing and languages, high-technology negotiations, psycholinguistics). Industrial internships for communication research are provided.<>

The author examines the professionalization process, the progress of technical communication, and the prospects, and provides some recommendations for further progress. Professionalization is defined the process by which an occupational group seeks to establish itself as a profession. Technical communication is an occupation engaged in this process. Four aspects of the professionalization process are discussed: establishment of a professional association, change of name, development and promulgation of a code of ethics, and prolonged political agitation.<>

An examination of industry procedures problems shows that a faulty procedures system is the root cause of most procedures deficiencies. An integrated procedures system addresses the root cause by using hierarchy and networking to empower both management and procedure users. Managers are freed from unnecessary supervision of day-to-day activities while procedure users (including managers) are given the authority to do their jobs right. The result is a system that efficiently produces safe, reliable, effective procedures.<>

An approach to usability testing is described that can help ensure user-based designs: it places usability testing in a problem-solving context. Attention is given to areas in the test development process where problems may occur, problems that pull the focus of the test away from the user. Finally, the author suggests some research needed in usability testing if one is to move beyond the constraints imposed by the industry environment and grow a responsible methodology. She describes a typical test plan, some situational constraints that affect it, and alternative plans that might grow out of dealing with constraints.<>

The author notes that the dissemination of technical information in a software development organization-project memos, software engineering process documents, local computing facility documentation-is often not organized and controlled adequately to meet the needs of staff. He describes common problems in this activity and presents a model of the development and use of documents in these organizations. Requirements for a simple system solving the problems are given, and lASO (Libraries for accessing, sharing, and organizing documents), a prototype based on the model and meeting most of the requirements, is described.<>

Department of Defense reporting requirements and evaluation criteria are reviewed and interpreted. Key strategies are discussed for each section, and examples are presented of project narratives that result in better, more effective technical communication. Key ingredients for each section are summarized in a checklist that can be used by authors as an aid in report development.<>

The authors discuss communication through viewgraphs and techniques to ensure timely viewgraph preparation. In the methodology discussed, the agenda forms the basis for the front matter, the action items and meeting minutes are restructured to provide both a record of the design review and a working paper for subsequent meetings, and the (now paginated) hard copies of the viewgraphs may be either part of the body or back matter. As a minimum, the program report will be essentially a supplement to the original design review package, and will include only copies of viewgraphs that require revision.<>

New procedure production and delivery systems are outlined which are needed to supply enough high-quality procedures to avert human performance errors in nuclear power plants. These new systems integrate writers, reviewers, and users into the production and delivery processes with a network of easy-to-use computers. The new systems combine selected capabilities from advanced word processing, desktop publishing, and database software to produce procedures that are correct, complete, consistent, clear, and concise. It is concluded that prototypes are available for each of the production system capabilities described. Currently no single system incorporates all of these capabilities. However, as computers and software become more powerful, integrating all of these capabilities into a single system will be practical.<>
