A needs-analysis on the engineering undergraduates' communication skills / Suzana Ab. Rahim

With the recent development requiring the engineers of today to be endowed with soft skills; particularly in having the ability to communicate well, it is pertinent that the engineering undergraduates' needs towards being more conversant and their ability to communicate well be looked into. Wi...
