Engineering Communication Higher Education Social Psychology engineering communication engineering communication soft skills talking speaking engineer attitude nonverbal conversation knowledge manufacturing distribution healthcare The ability to communicate effectively is one of the most critical skills needed in the field of engineering today. Not only are industries that employ engineers requesting communication skills be improved, but effective communication is an ABET student outcome. The objectives of this research include the identification of: 1) proficiencies and deficiencies that exist between critical communication skill areas of young engineers, 2) differences in communication that exist between various employee levels and 3) differences in communication that exist between various industries. Data was collected via personal interviews and analyzed using analytical qualitative data techniques. Three industries were consulted along with four employee levels. Attitude, nonverbal communication, and the use of technical language were among the most critical deficiencies of young engineers. Attitude, non-business conversation, and knowledge of new engineers were among some of the highest ranking proficiencies. Analysis indicated that young engineers should be communicating differently with various levels of employees, and that the various industries yielded culture and environmental differences rather than proficiencies and deficiencies of communication for young engineers. 2015-08-24 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429025121 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1429025121 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
