The Importance of Communication Skills
• From our school days all through college knowledge and communication are
treated separately.
• In order to be successful in a chosen career being able to communicate
effectivetly to a group of people large or small is vital.
• For example, Faraday not only discovered many of the basic principles of
Electricity but was a great communicator. According to Nacy Forbes and
Basil Mahon “His scientific genius lay not simply in producing experimental
results that had eluded everyone else but in explaining them too.”
• Without this skill many great ideas and knowledge get lost.

“Even in technology—maybe especially in technology—the ability to
collaborate effectively is decisive. In order to innovate, it’s not enough
to just come up with big ideas, you also need to work hard to
communicate them clearly. “
