Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

“I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread
inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is so important).
It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult
concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch.”

Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011)

According to Marybeth Miceli, the president of Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, we as engineers are underrated due to our incompetence to break down our ideas and concepts into something that is more relatable to our daily lives and justify the importance of these theories.
