Final Post

As an electrical engineer, the most critical communication skills is being able to explain and expound on answers, knowing how to be an effective listener and responder and when writing you have to use proper standard terms so that everyone will know what you are trying to discuss. Dealing with circuits the majority of the time, there could be twenty five ways to solve one problem. Once you solve a problem your way, you have to be able to explain to others what you did so that they can follow your work. In this class, I learned more how to focus on my audience more so that what I am trying to write is suitable and understandable. When speaking with classmates and especially teachers, you have to be able to understand the standard terms in electrical engineering. Without this knowledge, you will be completely lost. A great way to learn a few of these skills would have been from taking this class but the best way is to practice. Engage in conversation with your peers and if you don’t know something simply ask.
