The rapid technological advancement has had a tremendous impact on the traditional social fabric of India. This revolutionary phenomenon brings into focus the human dimension of the engineering enterprise. The significant role of engineering as a discipline is to use scientific knowledge to do useful things for society. Engineering is seen as a bridge between the natural sciences on the one hand and the social sciences on the other. Utilizing skills in emotional intelligence (E Q) can facilitate the development of communication competences, which are considered to be fundamental aspect in the education of engineers by experts. Increasing emphasis is being placed on the global engineer: a person who is mobile across international boundaries and who is not bound by particular paradigms concerning intercultural communication. An in depth study was carried out to ascertain the veracity of the issue with special reference to India. Almost all the students in the first semester of graduation `were subjected to rigorous training in emotional intelligence and language lessons while pursuing their engineering course over a period of five consecutive years. After passing out when they got placed in Multinational Companies or large companies it was observed that they fared better than those who had not been trained accordingly. When compared it was found that better communication was one of the prime reasons for this result. Hence enhanced integration of EQ skills in turn improves the work skills of graduates, particular with regards to communication skills. 2009-05-09T04:50:54Z 2009-05-09T04:50:54Z 2008-12-05 Working Paper p.344-348 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/5680 en International Conference on the Roles of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Eengineering 2008 (ICOHSE08) Universiti Malaysia Perlis
