The importance of communication skills for an engineer

"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)

My partner and I chose this quotation as we agree that communication skills are essential in both students' education and preparation for future careers. Communication skills is defined as the ability to convey or share ideas and feelings effectively. These skills may prove essential during internships, ensuring effective interaction with colleagues and clients. Thus, this will prepare engineering students for their future careers.
