摘要：There is no doubt that engineers need to develop oral and written communication skills during their engineering degree in order to satisfy the expectations of the profession and employers. According to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, the development of communication skills must be part of any engineering curriculum. These cross-disciplinary skills should be integrated throughout the curriculum in order to create links between technical and communication skills. Project-based design courses provide real-world contexts for the development of communication skills. Our actions could benefit from a broader view of communication skills. In this respect, this paper presents a chart structured around four communication situations: reception, production, mediation, and interaction. For each situation, the chart associates a general skill and presents the skill elements, learning objectives, skill activation context, and task samples. The chart can help the Faculty and program or department heads to develop pedagogical strategies and integrate them into specific courses or throughout the curriculum.
