IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS

IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS

Most of the scientific papers or journals in the world are written in English. Most of the engineering graphs are also marked in English. Moreover, most engineering professors in various universities are also conducting their lectures in English. Hence, engineering students should at least master the Basic English ability to deal with the countless English lectures, tutorials, labs, projects and papers. Finally, they have to submit their important theses, still in English.
