Abstract - This essay explores the role of professional
writers in one specific student engineering club, an
electric vehicle project at Purdue University, and
outlines the difficulties that arose in supporting the
technical project. The scope of the engineering project
is explained, as are the methods of project
management that supported the student engineering
group that performed much of the work – version
control software and monthly reports. Distinctions are
made between the material production work and the
knowledge work that supported manufacturing and
design. After reasons for the club’s eventual closing
are explored, suggestions are made as to how current
and future documentation strategies can sustain the
knowledge of the technical project in a sustainable,
responsible manner. Finally, after reviewing the
specific case, several suggestions for how professional
writers can position themselves within student
engineering clubs are given.
