ABSTRACT:

The rapid evolution of science and technology has created new avenues for engineering disciplines, emphasizing the crucial role of engineers in modern industries. However, a significant gap exists between the technical expertise of engineering graduates and their English communication skills, which are essential for career success. In today's globalized job market, employers seek engineers who possess not only technical knowledge but also excellent communication skills. Engineering graduates with proficient English communication skills have a competitive edge in interviews and are more likely to excel in the workplace. This paper highlights the importance of integrating English communication skills, public speaking skills into engineering education to enhance employability. By acquiring effective communication skills, engineering graduates can augment their technical knowledge, increasing their chances of securing better job opportunities and succeeding in their careers. Effective public speaking skills are crucial for engineering students to succeed in multinational corporations (MNCs). This paper explores the importance of public speaking skills, identifies the challenges faced by engineering students, and provides strategies to improve their public speaking abilities.
