Engineering and Communication: Towards the Integration of Critical Thinking into the Professional Development of Engineering Students

Abstract

In this paper we will address an important but neglected aspect of the professional development of engineering student’s i.e. promotion of good Communication Skills along with Critical Thinking Skills. With the conspicuous presence of English as a Lingua Franca in every vein of successful growth of a professional, Engineering students find themselves always standing on the horizons of ‘Classic Dilemma’ of How to get selected. We will try to focus on the need of communication skills not only to get jobs but also to showcase the potential in an organization to gain permanent position.
