“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.”
I fully agree with this statement. In my opinion, one of the sole purposes of learning and education is to prepare us for the outside world. While studying hard and getting good grades are important, we should also strive to acquire other skills in school. Take, for instance, communication skills. School provides ample opportunities for us to learn and improve on our communication skills. Simple actions such as stepping out of our comfort zone by answering a question or striking up a conversation with a fellow classmate could go a long way in building the foundations of good communication.
The engineering industry is a place where teamwork is essential and is unavoidable. Building strong communication skills can greatly benefit students as they enter the workforce. It enables them to be able to discuss and voice out their opinions easily and ultimately improve teamwork as a whole. Therefore, communication skills are a crucial aspect of education for engineering students and should not be disregarded.
