Download or read book Oral Communication Excellence for Engineers and Scientists written by Judith Shaul Norback and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have implemented oral communication instruction in our design courses, lab courses, and other courses where students give presentations. Others have students give presentations without instruction on how to become a better presenter. Many of us, then, could use a concise book that guides us on what instruction on oral communication should include, based on input from executives from different settings. This instruction will help our students get jobs and make them more likely to move up the career ladder, especially in these hard economic times. Oral Communication Excellence for Engineers and Scientists: Based on Executive Input is the tool we need. It is based on input from over 75 executives with engineering or science degrees, leading organizations that employ engineers and scientists. For the presentation chapter, the executives described what makes a “stellar presentation.” And for every other chapter, they gave input—on, for example, how to effectively communicate in meetings and in teams, how to excel at phone communication, how to communicate electronically to supplement oral communication, and how to meet the challenges of oral communication. They also provided tips on cross-cultural communication, listening, choosing the appropriate medium for a communication, elevator pitches, and posters; and using oral communication to network on the job. Oral Communication Excellence for Engineers and Scientists includes exercises and activities for students and professionals, based on instruction that has improved Georgia Tech’s students’ presentation skills at a statistically significant level. Slides demonstrating best practices are included from Capstone Design students around the country.

Download or read book The Effectiveness of ESP Courses in Improving English Oral Communication Skills for International Engineering Students written by Abdullah Almehaini and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many international students around the world move to America to study Engineering. They are a part of an increasing population who study engineering in the US. In 2012, nearly 820,000 international students were enrolled in different US colleges and universities, specifically in engineering fields (Anand, 2015). International students who had majored in different fields of study often have to enroll in general English courses or programs prior to enrolling in engineering courses. A comparison between general English courses; known as (GE), and English for Specific Purpose (ESP) was briefly discussed in this paper. Studies have proven that ESP courses were effective in Engineering programs. However, many ESP courses focus on improving engineers' technical skills and ignore their oral skills. In this paper, several studies mention that most of international engineering students lack English oral communication skills. Due to their poor English oral communication skills, most of graduate engineers are unemployed. Being an engineer requires strong English oral communication skills to be able to communicate with team members, international companies, and in group discussions. An online survey was conducted from 47 international engineering students, particularly from Kuwait who study engineering at a major university in Southern California. Based on a needs analysis, an ESP course for international engineering students is proposed to be in addition to GE courses, which will improve English oral communication skills to perform better in their future jobs as engineers.
