Remedial work is being undertaken at some universities and colleges to deal with this problem among science and engineering students. See, for example, "Science and Math Professors Are Assigning Writing Drills to Focus Students' Thinking," by Liz McMillen in The Chronicle of Higher Education, January 19, 1986, pp. 19-20. Purdue University has assigned a full-time staff member in tis school of Chemical Engineering for similar purposes, to help not only students but faculty to write better.
