@gtwilson They still teach technical writing to actual engineers. But 99% of US universities lack a proper software engineering degree, so we get CS majors instead. And they're split off enough from the math department often enough that they don't absorb LaTeX and Halmos's How to Write Mathematics (good summary: http://mathtourist.blogspot.com/2010/07/paul-halmos-on-writing-mathematics.html ). All PowerPoint all day long instead.
