Enhancing Communication Skills in Engineering: A Case Study in ESP

Communication skills are essential for engineering students, complementing their technical expertise and increasing their academic and professional growth. Effective communication enhances collaboration, ensures clarity in technical documentation, and enables engineers to articulate ideas persuasively. Therefore, employers value engineers who are able to communicate technical information clearly and collaborate within multinational teams. This paper explores the significance and challenges of developing communication skills in technical writing with an emphasis on teaching English for Specific Purposes to 2nd-year students in Computer Science and Applied Electronics from the Faculty of Engineering, Baia Mare, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca.
