Abstract

This paper reviews existing literature relating to communication in engineering education. A case study is then considered. The case study looks at the course structure of an existing civil engineering degree. Analysis of the different communication skills that can be obtained in this course is analysed. Deficiencies in the types of communication competencies that can be obtained are identified. Methods of improving these deficiencies are discussed.
