The goal of this course is to upskill talented engineers’ communication abilities. Engineers at all stages of their careers will find helpful guidance and dedicated space for practicing skills necessary for more effective communication with teammates, clients, and employees and/or pursuing the next level of leadership opportunities.
By the end of the course, students should have new adeptness at creating and delivering powerful presentations and documents on short deadlines, applying laser focus to their intended audiences, resolving conflicts, and leading others effectively. We will also make plans for both leveraging our identities as aspects of our communication strengths and training the next crop of leaders at our companies.
