Interpretation of the quotation
“Communication skills are an essential component in the education of engineering students to facilitate not just students’ education but also to prepare them for their future careers.”
Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007)
Engineering education is ineffective without strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. Engineering students need to develop strong communication skills as well as technical knowledge; neither is sufficient. These abilities go beyond the classroom and are extremely useful in the workplace, where engineers must be able to write reports, make presentations, document designs, and communicate ideas.
Thanks for posting, Sky.
ReplyDeleteI agree that strong communication skills go a long way beyond the classroom. There are many forms of communication and engineers should have these essential skills to effectively communicate with people.
