Welcome to the
Communication Department
The Department was first established in 2002 and has developed over time into its present format in order to meet the needs of engineers who are required to be creative and critical professionals. Communication courses are English-medium courses designed to meet the objectives of producing well rounded, articulate and autonomous life-long learners who are able to use higher order thinking and communication skills, required by twenty-first century professionals.
The department’s philosophy is that L2 learners will best develop their language and communication skills through the acquisition and articulation of knowledge. Communications 101 and 151 courses focus on problem solving and collaborative learning in order to develop the following:
- Oral and written communication
- Critical thinking
- Methods of acquiring knowledge
- Academic, scientific and technical observations
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis
- Behavioral competencies
The department will continue its pursuit of excellence and the development of courses that are informed by local and international research, and available to all members of the PI community and beyond.
