  Effective Interpersonal and Team Communication Skills for Engineers

  Effective communication is a necessity for engineers. Even minor on-the-job misunderstandings can cost time

  money

  or worse. Yet even though recent studies show that improved communication makes for better engineers

  the ability to speak clearly and listen carefully have historically been considered “soft skills” and are not typically or explicitly addressed in engineering programs.\n\nEffective Interpersonal and Team Communication Skills for Engineers introduces key principles of communication that support clear exchanges in a technical context. It helps readers become effective engineering communicators and better engineers. Working from basic units called microskills

  readers learn

  one step at a time

  how to engage others

  listen

  manage conflict

  and influence others with highly constructive

  repeatable communication exchanges.\n\nThis career-enhancing handbook:\n\n•\tPresents communication skills for both technical issues and social situations in an engineering context\n•\tBreaks skills down to elemental usage forms as microskills\n•\tIncludes plenty of practice exercises

  case studies

  and self-assessment tools\n•\tHelps develop higher-level skills for more complex situations

  such as dealing with confrontation and conflict negotiation\n•\tFeatures a direct

  learner-friendly

  practice-oriented format\n\nEffective Interpersonal and Team Communication Skills for Engineers is a must-have guide for professionals and an important supplement for engineering programs at all levels.
