It is absolutely necessary for engineering students to possess skillful communication abilities in order for them to achieve success in both academic and professional settings. In this study work, the complex function that communication skills play in engineering education and practice is investigated, as well as the relevance of these abilities. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the crucial necessity of communication competency for engineering students by evaluating a variety of areas, including but not limited to: cooperation, client engagement, problem-solving, project management, presentations, networking, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. In this paper, we shed light on the ways in which excellent communication skills lead to academic achievement, professional development, and creative contributions to the area of engineering. We do this by drawing upon theoretical frameworks, empirical data, and practical examples.
