Aside from being well versed in technical skills and scientific knowledge, a successful engineer must have excellent communication skills. They must be capable of communicating their ideas to people from many backgrounds in a concise and effective manner.
However, communication is not easy to master on your own. The Engineering Communication Program (ECP) will help you develop strong communication skills that will serve you throughout your career.
What Does the ECP Do?
The ECP provides integrated communication education and ensures that students can become top contributing professionals in their field. They provide many resources including the following.
Open to all undergraduate Engineering students, the ECP Tutoring Centre offers live online consultation with a tutor. You can also drop in during online drop-in hours and submit documents for review.
If you want to pursue the Certificate in Communication, you can select from multiple elective courses offered by the ECP. While your Year 1 courses are scheduled for you, in the winter term of Year 2, you can choose one HS/CSS elective course.
The ECP offers writing resources for students in their online handbooks. You can find general information and instructions on writing proposals, lab reports, referencing, oral presentations, etc.
