The Importance of communication skills for engineers

-

 Original Quote

“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.”

Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007)


Aziera's View

Based on Marc Riemer, Faculty of Engineering, Monash University (2007) quotation,

It is imperative that engineering students acquire communication skills as they are an essential part of education which will not only facilitate their education but also their preparation for the workforce in future.

Formal Self-Introduction Letter

-
Dear Prof Brad,  It is a pleasure to write this introductory letter to you in hopes that it allows you to get to know me better. My name is Nur Aziera and I am a freshman studying mechanical mngineering. Like most other students, before I entered the Singapore Institute of Technology (SiT), I recently graduated from Temasek Polytechnic (TP) with a diploma in aerospace engineering. It had always been my childhood interest to learn more about aircraft as I was ever so fascinated by its components and mechanics aspect of it. However, even though my interest was in aerospace, my passion is not in the engineering industry. Instead, my passion lies in wanting to be an educator who teaches physics in secondary school.  In order for me to be able to teach physics in future, I will require to have at least a degree in engineering. Since I was already studying aerospace engineering at TP, I decided to further my studies in mechanical engineering which is known to be a very versatile field in the

Critical Reflection

When I started this module journey with you and the rest of my peers, I remember mentioning in my formal self-introduction letter that I am an introvert with little to no confidence to present myself in a crowded room. Apart from my poor presentation skills, my writing skills were not good either because I struggled to correct any grammatical errors present in my writing. This somehow caused issues for me as I was unable to get my message across, not allowing my intended audience to understand me well.  The presence of this module during these past 13 weeks has given me a vast different opportunity to improve my presentation skills through sharing and discussion sessions with the help of critical thinking techniques like the Paul-Elder framework. Both the sharing and discussion sessions that we had were highly beneficial because it helps me to keep myself on my toes throughout the lesson. Else, I will most likely stay quiet in class as this used to happen in my polytechnic classes. Oth
