Communication skills for engineering students

Communication is the activity of conveying information. In the globalize context, students of Engineering and Technology need a specific set of language skills for their success in education and career. Industries are also voicing their concerns about the need for better communication skills among students of Engineering. Communication has been derived from the Latin word "communis", meaning to share. Communication requires a sender, a massage, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender. Good communication skills are often needed to get a good job in the first place. If one is clear in expressing ones thoughts and articulating ones accomplishments and attributes, an interviewer is more likely to form a favorable impression and gain an understanding of one's skills.
