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)Sherwyn Morreale, 


Communication is a cornerstone of maintaining successful job performance because it 
1. Ensures clarity - Important to provide constructive feedback and help everyone align their efforts with intended objectives. Moreover, to convey and transmit clearly what the intended purpose of the speech is to others and making them take in information constructively on what had been shared by the end of the day. 
2. Builds relationships with people around us.
3. Facilitates collaboration - Good communication ensures that everyone is on the same page, reducing duplication of efforts and conflicts to increase productivity. 
4. Enhances efficiency - Miscommunication can lead to inefficiencies, rework, or wasted resources. 
In conclusion, organizations can create a more cohesive, efficient, and high-performing work environment.
