SEGi University & Colleges hosted an informative industrial talk titled “The Importance of Communication in the Engineering World” on 22 March 2023. Ir Narendran Naidu, an external industrial expert, delivered the talk, which aimed to educate undergraduate students on the importance of effective communication in the engineering world.
Ts Vinukumar Luckose, Ts Dr Nurulazlina Ramli, Ir Dr Gopinath Subramani, Ts Preethy Ayyappan, Noor Farhana Halil, Dr Jessie Siaw Fei Lu, and Chris Chong Hock Siong were among the SEGi faculty members who attended the event. The discussion focused on the proper way to converse, efficient communication, tips for correctly conveying information to the intended audience, and communicating across different levels of people/ranks.
Communication skills are the top desired skills employers look for when hiring new graduates, according to a report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Effective communication is critical in the engineering field because engineers must convey complex technical information to stakeholders with varying levels of technical knowledge.
SEGi’s initiative to host such events is critical in preparing students for the workforce, as effective communication skills can make or break a person’s career advancement. SEGi students can gain valuable insights and knowledge on the importance of communication in the engineering world by working with external industrial experts such as Ir Narendran Naidu.
SEGi University & Colleges’ industrial talk on the importance of communication in the engineering world was a success, providing students with the tools and skills they needed to communicate effectively in the engineering industry. Students can stay ahead of the curve and better prepared for the workforce if SEGi continues to host such events.
