In electrical engineering, the most important part of communication would be being able to communicate complex ideas to those who might not have as much experience. It is important to be able to get new employees up to speed with how equipment on the job would work, as this would improve their potential usefulness to employers and reduce the time they spend trying to learn how to maintain the equipment themselves. Also, on projects lead by a manager, it is important to give the manager some understanding of the tasks required to complete a project, for this will give the manager some direction as to what completing the project entails, leading to a more quickly finished product. This sort of discussion with the project manager also reduces the effects of miscommunication; if a manager knows how a project is supposed to be accomplished, he'll be less likely to make bad decisions based off misunderstandings from managers of a higher standing in the company. If an engineer can effectively communicate the often technically complex ideas behind a project, whether through email or verbally, whether they're for a project leader or for a new employee, he can then be a generally more useful employee.
