Abstract
The term "engineer" may encompass a variety of studies and career paths for the engineering student. It is somewhat like an onion, it appears simple on the surface, but as you peel back the layers, there are many more layers to explore. There is a growing demand in industry for trained, skilled engineers. No matter what field of engineering, engineering support, or other technical field you may choose, you must be able to communicate your findings, suggestions, or results to others. Those "others" will in many cases be other technical or scientific persons, and such communication may be easy.
