Stop Communicating Like an Engineer! Learn to communicate like a Professional!
Improve Your Critical Communications & Presentation Skills Workshop for ISE Engineers
ISE Engineers are masters of problem-solving, create amazing technical solutions, and have the ability to deliver incredible innovation to disrupt markets. However, these talents are of little value if you can not effectively communicate with your clients, your leadership, your investors, and your teammates. This 2-hour workshop is intended to build an awareness of the critical importance that communications skills have in fulfilling your career potential. The workshop will be interactive with education, methodology, and hands-on activities to help reinforce the concepts. All ISE students are welcome!
The ISE Presentation and Communications Skills Workshop will be led by GE alumnus Jason Lee as an add-on to the SE 290 EIR Class. The workshop will be in two locations on Feb. 8: 11-11:50 (1310 DCL) / noon-1 (2240 DCL).
