The Importance of communication skills for engineers

“Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every
graduate should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for
obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.”
Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000)

Communication is an essential part of everyday life, it helps us relay information with ease.

 

Why communication is important for graduates? How does it help us in employment?

Good communication helps graduates in career development. Being clear in conveying your thoughts shows your professionalism and it leaves a good impression on the employers during an interview. Communicating well shows employers that you are effective and can positively impact the workplace.

 

How does it maintain successful job performance?

In the workplace, communicating effectively is a key component. 

A few examples are:

A job in the health sector will involve empathetic and clear communication with patients.

A job in the political sector involves professional and detailed communication.

A job in the engineering sector involves sufficient and clear communication with clients.

 

Effective communication increases the productivity and work performance in business.
