Task 3: The Importance of communication skills for engineers

-
“Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every

Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson,
Professors of Communication (2000)

This can lead to better synergy between colleagues and allow them to perform their job more efficiently. Thus bring benefits to the company.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are integrated and used in smart roads to enhance safety and efficiency of road users. There is a claim in the article that many authorities have recognized the importance of smart roads but the article further elaborate that developing smart city infrastructure at scale can be expensive and complicated. Leaders can implement smart road projects in stages, starting with small-scale initiatives that give fundamental understanding before moving on to large-scale initiatives. The article concludes that the authorities gradually realized that people could only benefit from modern transportation technologies if a significant investmen...
