Track: Communication Design for Innovation

Specialising in communication boosts your employability and helps take science and technology to the next level.

Looking beyond science and technology

“Twenty-first-century engineers will need to be trusted innovators, master integrators, enterprise enablers, technology stewards, and knowledge handlers,” according to Joseph Bordogna, former director of the US National Science Foundation. Future engineers will be expected to have much more than just a solid knowledge of, and skills in, science and technology. Therefore communication and collaboration are essential parts of engineering in the 21^st century. It raises the quality of your work and increases your employability. If you love science and engineering and want to make them work in practice, and you like working with people, then the Communication Design for Innovation track is ideal for you.
