Communication underpins all engineering activity. Developing our communication skills gives a significant advantage to individuals and to organisations.

This modular online course conveys the fundamental principles of effective communication, and builds on these principles to help engineers optimise their communication in various situations such as email, documents, meetings, and presentations. Techniques will be presented for getting the best out of challenging face-to-face discussions.
