“ 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.
The main gist of the quote is that the ability to communicate effectively is deemed one of the most valuable skills for engineering students. This skill is then useful not only in education but also in future careers. In terms of education, it is used to communicate ideas with other students during discussion allowing clearer and more precise steps to be taken in group work, and to communicate ideas to others during presentations. This skill is also useful in careers as it is important to be able to communicate clearly about goals or steps to take in the workplace, and can also be useful when trying to propose plans to others in the workplace.
Thank you, Athena, for the detailed explanation.
