ability and skills to be employed and be
able to engage with the professional

whole such as communication skills,

inappropriateness of the traditional

students for their future.
 The improvement of the quality of
technical education and the ability
to find organizations and the action
of the government to fund the
research works to address the gap.
 The collecting of information as to
why a gap existed such as the
concrete examples given by the
employers like the lack of skills of
the newly graduated hires, which
have been linked to the short
coming of the education system.

 Interviews/surveys- it is the most
appropriate ways on to gather
information on how the participants
view the system and how high/ low
they rate it.
 Observation- on how they see the

data or set data that being said, the data
was interpreted through the means of

present it is the most logical way to
visualize and compare the data sets.

 The medium used in the education
can affect the performance of the 15 pts
students in their activities as shown (for
on the observations where English explanation)
shows the most promising mode of
communication.
 The methods used in lectures and
examinations are unable to yield
satisfactory results hence the
process needs to be reviewed for
 further improvement
 Communication skills are not only
for language learning but also to
boost employability skills.
 The syllabus should be modified for
the sake of improving team- work,
interpersonal skills, adaptability and
emotional intelligence.

Corroborations include:

1. Engineering education has until

now been strongly content driven,
15 pts.
social skills is a relatively recent
(for
notion in educational offerings corroboration)
(Lappalainen, 2009).

2. Communication skills for engineers

can be developed with special
practical activities designed to
foster communicative performance
(Danilova & Pudlowski, 2007)

3. Workplace activities such as group

discussion, seminars, presentations
and role-plays conducted in the
classroom helped students develop
professional skills which further
enabled them in placement (Bass,
McDermott, & Lalchandani, 2015)

4. Pia Lappalainen (2009) remarks

that university education ought to
help engineering graduates
perceive communication as an
operations enhancing asset, by
bringing together academic
research knowledge with the
corporate reality and attempting to
match the quality and content of
the course supply with industrial
 needs.

IV. CONCLUSION

changed or improved to let the engineers
be able to boost their skills such as
communication skills, team work,
adaptability, business etiquettes,
emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills
and etc. so that they can qualify for the
required skills for todays engineering
standards.
