Group discussions

It enables the engineers to share their ideas and explain their thoughts and also to put forward their queries in effective manner.

Gathering information and Analyzing it.

For computer engineers, one of the prominent part in the software development lifecycle tends to be the role of business analyst.

While gathering requirements for the project, an analyst needs to have pure command over the subject as well as be an adequate communicator so that information can be flown to both the concerned parties in a channelized manner.

Same goes for electrical or instrumentation engineers who are supervising large scale mechanical equipments, if they are not dealt with properly and their usage is not well known to them, communicating at a low level to their associated might create a problem for them

Communication Skills are very important to crack the interviews.

As effective communication is an essential component for organization success, whether it is the interpersonal intra group organization or external levels.

Commercial Activities

Leadership There lies no point in leadership when you cannot get your

point across the table, no matter how competent you are, you will not be perceived positively in your profession.

Upon a survey conducted, it was brought to knowledge that more than 50% of the engineering projects that fail are purely due to ineffective people’s management and the inability of a manager to convey his message to the team due to various communication barriers.

 This is the rationality that at all levels, good organizations focus on the soft skills developmental courses to get their associates well versed with the requirement of time.
