5. Importance of Communication
Skills in Engineers life.
Communication skills are very important in Engineers day
to day life.
For an engineer communication skill is just like oxygen
without which he can’t survive.
Importance of communication skills starts from their
college days which is further carried out in interviews, jobs
and their day to day life.
As “the engineers design the future” communication is
much needed them for their survival.
7. For engineers most of the project
activities are in groups,
communication skills are important
to communicate easily in group.
Good communication skills can
attract the attention on people.
Group discussions
It enables the engineers to share
their ideas and explain their
thoughts and also to put forward
their queries in effective manner.
8. Gathering information and
Analyzing it.
For computer engineers, one of the prominent part in the
software development lifecycle tends to be the role of business
analyst.
While gathering requirements for the project, an analyst needs
to have pure command over the subject as well as be an
adequate communicator so that information can be flown to
both the concerned parties in a channelized manner.
Same goes for electrical or instrumentation engineers who are
supervising large scale mechanical equipments, if they are not
dealt with properly and their usage is not well known to them,
communicating at a low level to their associated might create a
problem for them
9. Communication Skills are very
important to crack the
interviews.
As effective communication is
an essential component for
organization success, whether
it is the interpersonal intra
group organization or
external levels.
So the interviewer always
looks for engineers who has
mastery over communication.

said that “ It is the you who
decide what will be the question
asked to you by the interviewer”
So good communication skills
are needed to get simple

presentation but if you give a poor explanation of
presentation, you risk not only making a bad first
impression but also losing important valuable new
contracts or other opportunities from that potential client

There lies no point in leadership when you cannot get your
point across the table, no matter how competent you are,
you will not be perceived positively in your profession.
Upon a survey conducted, it was
brought to knowledge that more
than 50% of the engineering
projects that fail are purely due to
ineffective people’s management
and the inability of a manager to
convey his message to the team due
to various communication barriers.
16. This is the rationality that at all levels, good organizations
focus on the soft skills developmental courses to get their

opportunities and also to grab these opportunities.
Communication skills are as important as technical
qualifications for youngsters aiming at a bright career.
Good job opportunities
All big named companies today in
the engineering sector, go to hire
such candidates who are
outstanding in speaking,
management and writing, even if
the candidates are ranked average
in their academics.
19. Poor communication skills, low confidence levels and
improper body language have resulted out in the job race.
Engineers recruited in big companies have to deal with the
global clients directly. The command over the language and
communication skills plays a vital role in the recruitment
process.

Getting the work done in effective manner has become
more important than having the most knowledge.

From the above presentation we concluded that
communication skills are the very important aspects of the
engineers life.
Communication skills are much needed in the 21st century
to survive in the day to day life for an engineer.
An engineer without good communication is just like a
computer without operating system.
Along with knowledge, communication is the path that
leads to success.
A common misleading statement prevalent in our society continues to be against the learning of communication skills with a thought that it is only meant for those who want to adopt a managerial career in the years ahead. It is a phenomenon which is needed to be practiced at all levels of experience and regardless of the position an individual holds in organization, every one must be proficient in this realm.
In our country ,about 75% students of the engineering are from rural areas and most of them are coming through regional language medium schools.No doubt that as they have entered into the engineering colleges ,they do possess intelligence i.e. necessary qualification for higher education and bright future.But ,at every walk of life and career English becomes an obstacle in their way of career.So,let us examine the reasons which make English as a souring grape for rural students even today in this modern era.
