Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers
“Without clear lines of communication, our ideas would stay within our own
small development teams instead of becoming mature products. While this is
obvious to those of us who have become experienced engineers, the real
question is: Why is it lost to us when we are engineering students?”
Akbar R Khan, Software Systems Engineer, USA,
“Good Communication Is Essential...” (2014)
Effective communication is crucial for the success of any project, but it can be particularly challenging in the working world. This is because the stakes are higher for working adults, whose livelihoods may depend on the success of the project, compared to students who may only be concerned with grades. Working adults may also have to communicate with people from different fields and backgrounds, which can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications. Additionally, the use of abbreviations and technical language can make it difficult to get everyone on the same page. In contrast, students may be more accustomed to working with classmates who are in the same field and may not have as much exposure to different perspectives. They may also be working on smaller projects with more informal lines of communication.
