Engineering communication FAQs

What type of communication do engineers use?

Between writing reports and proposals and relaying information and research to colleagues or clients, engineers need to have good oral and written communication skills in order to effectively get their job done. 

What is the role of communication in engineering?

Engineers need to be able to communicate with both clients and colleagues. This means not only being able to turn technical terminology into easily understood topics, but also the ability to write and deliver in a way colleagues can understand and act on. In essence, they need to be able to work across multiple audiences — and across mediums like written and oral communication — in order to do their jobs successfully. 

What is an example of communication in engineering?

Engineers write or use Progress Reports to indicate work status or to note when a specific milestone is reached. Engineers also need other forms of communication, though, to keep individual contributors and stakeholders apprised of progress. These can include newsletters, chat messages, and more. 

How is AI revolutionizing internal communications for engineering?

Many engineers are tasked with writing Progress Reports and other forms of communication, but few are given formal writing training. AI is changing that. With AI capabilities and guidance, any writer can now feel more confident in the communications they create — not to mention it will save them loads of time not having to write from scratch.
