The Importance of communication skills for engineers
“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)
More often than not, engineering students find themselves communicating with one another be it for project work or even teaching each other key concepts and definitions. According to Marc Riemer, communication skills are paramount as it enhances the learning capabilities of the student and without a doubt, honing these skills early and before entering the workforce would pay dividends as their ideas can be communicated effectively and efficiently with as little ambiguity as possible. (Reimer, M, 2007)
Thank you very much for your post. I enjoyed reading it. You really well summarised the quote and your post is quite detailed. I also agree with what you have written based on the quote as I am in engineering school. I think that communication skills are really important to engineers to perform well.
