I. COURSE OVERVIEW:
In today’s competitive world, students need skills that will equip them for a fast-changing work
environment. Technical and communication skills are highly desired by companies and the need for
proficiency in English is becoming essential for many posts. 80 per cent of international business
communications written in English and most of the world’s trade and financial business transacted in
the language. Almost all the companies worldwide acknowledge the necessity of having workforce
able to communicate in English if they are to take advantage of the opportunities in the global market.
Engineering alumni need for ever-increasing range of skills to preserve relevance with the global
environment of the new century. Communication skills are a crucial component of this, acknowledged
by academia and industry. English language skills have also important prevalent status across the
globe as a lingua franca. Indeed, multilingual skills are considered a noticeable factor in the make-up
of the new comprehensive engineer. Communication skills are crucial for an engineer who pursues to
perform his professional practice in the global society. Engineering communication skills have several
essential elements such as the fluency in the English language and good presentation in conferences,
writing academic papers and articles or books and work communications. Evidence indicates that
communication skills have helped humankind to improve its societies on Earth today. However, these
skills have become restrained in the very discipline that has brought so many promotions. There is
abundant evidence that graduate engineers haven’t communication skills, particularly when compared
