Engineering Conversations
Think Up is developing a number of workshops and events to help engineers communicate better be it through drawing, speaking, writing or the medium of video, we are helping engineers find ways to communicate that suit them as well as the audience so that their story can be heard. Keep an eye out on the news board and forum for events that related to this theme.
That engineers need to be able to communicate - to clients, the public and with each other - is no revelation; it is not for nothing that communication skills form a core part of the Institution of Civil Engineers’ requirements for professional qualification. With the importance of communication skills clearly acknowledged, why then is there a perennial anxiety among engineers about their status in society. It could just be that while they have the communication skills, engineers don’t yet know how to tell their story.
