Task 3: 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)


I think this means that having good communication skills as a graduate is essential and critical to employers when it comes to applying for a job. Having the ability to communicate well will benefit graduates during a job interview as they are able to present themselves to the employers during the interview. Communication is still key even after securing a place in the company as it is important for graduates to be able to communicate well with his/her colleagues while performing any task on the job.

When I was younger, I was always fascinated by how things worked in this world and soon, I realized that everything in this world is produced by successful engineering solutions. A communication strength that I possess would be the ability to speak with volume and clarity. During my time in national service, I took on leadershi...

Task 5.2 "Critical Thinking: The Soul of Communication"

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing and evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief an action. Critical Thinking is the driver of effective communication. I feel that there are great benefits and positive impacts that communication and critical thinking can have on a leadership role at a workplace. By being a critical thinker, we are able to have better communication between our colleagues at work, especially when needing to lead a team. Critical thinking enables us to understand the impact of our every decision made and ensures that the decisions we make are logical and aligns with the organizational goals and accountability for results. Therefore, being able to think critically before every decision we make is crucial in impacting the workplace as a leader.
