The Importance of communication skills for engineers

“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) This statement interprets that communication skills play a pivotal role in both education and career. In education context, these skills help students understand complex engineering concepts by enabling them to articulate their thoughts clearly and engage effectively with their peers. Furthermore, in the professional world, teamwork and interacting with people from diverse backgrounds are required in projects. Strong communication skills are crucial for effectively conveying ideas, discussing plans, and resolving conflicts in these collaborative settings. Therefore, integrating communication skills into the education of engineering students not only enhances their learning experience but also equips them with the necessary tools to thrive in their future careers, where effective communication is fundamental for success.

Formal introductory letter

Dear Professor Blackstone,  I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Victoria, currently in my first year studying Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Engineering at SIT. I am writing to you to share some insights about myself. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in electronic systems. Through my diploma modules from polytechnic such as automation systems and mechanics, it sparked my interest in engineering which inspired me to further my career in the industry.  A communication strength I possess is active listening when interacting with others. As someone whom my friends would always approach when in need, I would give them my full attention when they speak before giving feedback. This allowed me to understand their situation before helping them and also build better relationships with the people I met. However, I do have a specific area of weakness, which is my public speaking skills. I faced challenges such as speaking too fast which led to my mind blanking o

The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover has 6 wheels made of aluminum with titanium spokes.  Each wheel has a diameter of 52.5 centimeters (20.7 inches). The wheels have a aggressive thread composed of cleats that help them maintain traction across sandy and rocky terrain and climb over obstacles up to 40 cm tall. (NASA,2019)  According to Stefan Roschi (n.d.) , Perseverance is equipped with brushless DC motor s in its wheels and legs , allowing for the rover to travel 4.2 cm per second, which is a “standout performer” and t he slow pace is energy efficient and consumes less than 200 watts (NASA, 2019). T he   ro ver is also equipped with a "rocker-bogie" system that distributes the weight of the rover equally over its 6 wheels , reduc ing tilt wh ile driving over the uneven Martian terrain for better stability.
