It’s not in the engineering world where you need to know how to convey your ideas, I believe it is something that every single person should know how to do. If you don’t know how to talk to others or be able to say what is on your mind, it is every hard for you get anywhere in this world which is all technology dependents right now. It is a shame that college does not prepare us enough to be able to communicate with others especially in engineering terms. When we have an idea and not be able to present in a way for everyone to understand is a shame because our ideas will not be shared. I do think colleges should have a mandatory public speaking class where we have to be able to pitch out ideas to potential employees.
