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)
What I can infer from this quote is that communication is very important
in an engineer's work life. This is because as engineers, we will have to work
with our colleagues to achieve the results that we want. For example, when an
engineer is designing a product, he will have to work with the manufacturers by
seeking their opinion on the design of the product, whether it is feasible. Only
by communicating with others, the engineer will then be able to get the product
that he desire. Furthermore, some of us might be leading a group of people at
work and as a leader, it is important to have good communication skills as you
have to give clear and precise instructions to your team so that your team
understands what they need to do.
