Task 3: The importance of communication skills for engineers
Quote:
"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)
Paraphrased Quote & Explanation:
According to Marc Riemer, it is imperative that engineering students master the art of communication because it is a soft talent that can be applied across industries and is crucial in the workplace, where having strong communication skills can help advance one's career. In my opinion, I think that engineers need to be educated in a range of communication abilities, such as oral, listening, writing, visual, inter-disciplinary, and cross-cultural. This in turn has an effect on recruitment and retention in engineering studies.
I agree that engineers need to be educated in different kinds of communication skills to better equip oneself for their future careers
