摘要：AbstractNowadays, within our globalized and technological society, the study of foreign languages in general and of English in particular will focus on the development of linguistic and professional communication skills and competences, as a prerequisite for the prospective engineers’ choice of career and occupational opportunities. It is noteworthy that linguistic competences and knowledge of English will assist engineering students, anticipating graduation, in their career decision-making process. Moreover, being in a learning environment seems to place engineering students in great “danger” of growing professionally, thus, acquiring communicative and linguistic competences becomes a “must” in view of a more flexible and smoother insertion into the labor market worldwide. Hence, the proper aim of higher technical education is to promote significant language learning, since significant learning entails professional development. Furthermore, professional development means addressing broader and thoughtful queries regarding oneself and the world we live in. The present research aims at analyzing the importance of linguistic competence for engineering students in choosing their career and ensuring better employability.
