Interpretation of Communication Skills

 “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) 

Communication skills is a fundamental skill that engineering students are expected to master not only to be used in their academic journey but to also prepare them for their future careers. The emphasis on it being an essential component is due to the needs of an engineer, from sharing technical data with clients to collaborating with co-workers on a project. Without proper communication, the world of engineering would still be stuck in a development phase instead of what it has become today.
