“While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative.” Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016)


  • Effective communication helps provide clear information and expectations to help manage and deliver excellent work which in return helps boost team’s performance.
  • Engineer’s work is complex and technical, but not everyone they work with has the same technical expertise, which makes it even more important for them to have good communication skills. Effective communication in engineering is critical to ensuring that all project participants are on the same page.
  • Engineers need to use communication skills every day. A lack of communication skills in today’s engineer leads to inefficiency, wasted effort, mistrust, and resentment between co-workers.
  • Engineers are creative people. They are responsible for dreaming up and building systems that companies will implement or sell, with the goal of improving the bottom line. Because their roles require team building and leadership, engineers must be able to clearly communicate complex ideas and technical project plans.
  • Effective communication is important to prevent messages from being distorted.
