Hi all, in this globalized world, English language is essential in our daily life. For an engineering student’s academic life and prospective career, it is important for them to master it. This is because for students, they have to write reports and thesis which will require their English language competency. This is crucial because the grade that they get will depend on it.
When in career, it is even more important because you have to be able to communicate well with your supervisor, colleagues and subordinates. Not only that, you will be required to pass down clear instructions and lead a group of new engineers. In some occasion, you will be required to meet up with the people from others companies to discuss on co-operation. You will also be required to meet up with manufacturers to decide on the types of materials you will use.
In working, you will need to read piles of documents and the documents are normally in English. This has again shown the importance English language. When going for interview, you are required to be able to communicate fluently in English with the interviewer.
Lastly, engineering is not just about design, mathematics, physic and science; it will also require a medium for an engineer to transform these ideas into words when they need to do presentation in front of their supervisors. In order for them to accept it, you need to convince them. One of the ways is through speaking. The language used in this case is definitely English.

ReplyDeleteI agreed with what he says, as in our society, one cannot deny the importance of English in the contemporary world. Many readings and articles are written in English and English is one of the widely spoken languages. This is mainly due to the educational policies put in place by the government. The government saw the importance of English in order for Singapore to succeed. As an engineer, he or she will need access to information to all parts of the world and it is important that an engineer has a good command in English.
During my course of study, I have personally experienced countless times when a good command of English has helped me to express my opinion or ideas to my lecturer. Besides that, engineering students who are good in the English language are able to understand the modules which are being taught in that language.
In addition, an engineering student’s prospective career lies with their command of English language. It will play a major role in the type of jobs one can get. When one goes for interview, the interviewer will leave a better impression if you are one that is able to speak in English fluently. This will help you in securing a better job.
In conclusion, English language competence is a significant aspect of an engineering student’s academic life and prospective career. It helps them succeed both academically and in their career.
