The impact of engineering students' communication behavior on the teams' performance (case study: Chemical process engineering classes)

Abstract

The activity of modern engineer requires the ability to work in a multi-discipline team and the ability to hand over clearly the professional information to the other team members who are specialists from another field. Therefore, according to the researches graduates from engineering universities lack skills of business communication and team work interaction. That is why the organization of work of future engineers in small groups fulfilling different team roles and the use of moderation methods for the achievement of the effective team cooperation will enable the achievement of the goal of necessary cooperation skills development.
