The Communication Connection One of the greatest needs of an engineer, computer scientist or other technical professional is the ability to communicate effectively, especially with large audiences. Although various speaking assignments may cause an uncomfortable feeling, the nervousness, build speaker confidence, and improve results for greater success. This presentation, designed by an engineer for engineers and technical professionals, is a common sense approach to developing and delivering powerful oral presentations. It includes demonstrations of the use of PowerPoint and other visual aids to guide the speaker through the presentation and to increase audience interest and retention. An engineer is faced with a tremendous challenge keeping abreast of the changes in technology and the profession.
Education is the key.
By continually learning, an engineer can maintain his technical strengths and ensure a career, not just a job. The speaker outlines the reasons why a graduate engineer should become a registered Professional Engineer. He explains the registration process and discusses the makeup and details of the current Fundamentals of Engineering exam. He also discusses variations in registration practices in different states. It takes more than good grades and enthusiasm to be a successful engineer.
