Abstract

A method to develop communication skills in engineering students is proposed. It is necessary for every engineer who reaches a certain professional level to make a complex, high-quality presentations. It is stated that inability to communicate effectively could negatively influence one's future job possibilities. The neccessity for developing such method arises since chemical engineering students are left with little or no opportunities to develop communication abilities.
