Developing Effective Communication Skills –
An Important Aspect for Engineers & Doctors

Dr. Ritu Benjamin, Ph.D. English

Abstract

The paper presents helpful suggestions for developing effective communicative skills in engineers and medical doctors.

Keywords: communication skills, useful methods to develop skills, need for engineers and doctors to develop effective communication skills.

Communication

Communication is an exchange of ideas, expression, knowledge, views, etc. between two or more than two people. Communication is one aspect necessary to convey message but effective communication is of most importance for a busy professional, like a doctor and an engineer, who are busier and have to interact with variety of people. They interact with people of various age group, social status, level of education, various professionals, varied cultures, etc. This paper deals with the various aspects which make the communication effective like non verbal signs, attentive listening, furnishing group goals, team culture, etc.

Communication Is a Process

Effective communication requires paying attention to an entire process, not only the content of the message. When one is the messenger in this process, he should consider potential barriers at several stages that can keep the audience from receiving the message correctly.

The sender has to be aware of his attitudes, emotions, knowledge, and credibility with the receiver which might obstruct or alter whether and how the message is received. Awareness of sender’s own body language when speaking, the attitudes and knowledge, diversity in age, sex, and ethnicity or race adds to the communication challenges, as do different training backgrounds.
