INTRODUCTION

This module will concentrate on developing skills through a questioning and analytical approach
which will enable students to better understand, communicate with and lead a team.

While speaking, writing, and listening are everyday actions, many professionals underestimate
the importance of communication skills. Engineers tend to prioritize technical skills over
communication skills, not realizing that they cannot be fully effective in their jobs if they are
inadequate speakers, writers and listeners. Yet it is particularly in the engineering fields that
effective communication skills are crucial to success.

PROCEDURE

1. Students are instructed to form groups of five students each. Each group will be
required to report to Communicative Technique Lab as and when scheduled.
2. Students are then required to sit on the system assigned to them.
3. They will then be told about the PowerPoint Presentation which is already available on
the system assigned to them.
4. This particular PowerPoint Presentation will have slides consisting of the knowledge of
the skills which the students are supposed to learn.
5. This presentation has slides about the knowledge of various skills for eg. Communication
skills, Interpersonal skills, Leadership skills, Collaboration skills, Motivational skills,
Professional skills, Negotiation skills, Telephone skills, etc.
6. While going through the slides, students will make handy notes in their notebooks so
that they can access to them in future.
7. After the presentation is over, students will be asked to switch off their systems.
8. Now, the Instructor will ask few questions to have an idea as to how much information
students have grasped.

Communication for Collaboration

MATERIAL AND SOFTWARE

INTRODUCTION

A combination of individual coaching, great tips and techniques within lively interactive training
program will transform team into a dynamic and cohesive unit which works together and also
communicates more effectively with clients/colleagues.

Whether you call it cooperation, collaboration, or teamwork, an engineer’s ability to work with
other people from different backgrounds is essential. For eg., when designing a transformer for
high- voltage transmission lines, it takes more than one engineer to complete the project. It
requires a team of engineers and other professionals – drafters, project managers, and
administrative staff – working together and potentially interfacing with clients, regulatory
agencies, subcontractors, and even public advocacy groups.

PROCEDURE

Professional Excellence

MATERIAL AND SOFTWARE

INTRODUCTION

This module will focus on many aspects of professionalism including fundamentals of excellent
professional and positive attitudes.

The training path for engineers focuses intensely on scientific and technical knowledge. Yet, our
professional and personal satisfaction and success also depend on other traits that make us
more effective and productive. This module will provide practical guidance in developing the
skills to become more effective in their work, while also balancing their life.

PROCEDURE

1. Students will be taught the key characteristics of professional people.

2. Then, components of personal effectiveness will be taught.
3. In order to make students realize their strengths and fulfill their potential, students
will be evaluated in different areas, such as, aptitudes, personal style and
development areas.
4. Application of multiple intelligences model in different situations will be taught to
the students.
5. To work out the strengths of the students, they will be asked to assess their natural
talents and personal values and the influence of intelligence on their personalities.
6. Also, various situations will be given to make them manage disagreement with
colleagues in a productive manner. For this, they will be taught how to be assertive
without being aggressive, how to diffuse disagreement with active listening and how
to deal with more serious disagreement situations at workplace.
7. Through certain activities, harnessing the power of positive psychology will be
imbibed. For eg., seeing stress as a gift, building short-term coping mechanism,
developing mental toughness, etc.
 8. Finally, students will be asked to prepare a report on what they have learned in the
class and also to make a professional image that they wish others to see of them in
future.

WORKSHEET

7 principles that are found to be very useful for building professional excellence:

1. Follow your passions – Passions are a gift. They are a source of energy. They light up your life
and bring joy and vitality. They are also the foundation for excellence. If you do what you enjoy
doing, you will do it well. So, follow your passions and you would have begun your life journey well.

2. Persist in search of excellence – Passions are a good starting point but not enough. Passions
alone are like sparks that will flicker but might not sustain. To achieve sustained success, you need
to strengthen your passions with excellent skills or competence. Excellence is the fuel that helps
convert your sparks of passion into the bright and sustainable fire of success.

3. Be proactive and take responsibility – Whether it is the organization you work for or the society at
large, you would see many chronic problems that can create a sense of helplessness about the
“system”. If you aspire to develop as a leader, then be proactive and take ownership of the
problems around you.

4. Focus on giving not getting – Early stages of one’s career we are often obsessed about value
addition to self, “what is in it for me”. This is a narrow perspective and might lead to
disappointment. Let go of your self interest and seek to give and to add value to people and
situations around you. Focus on “We” not “I”. That will grow you as a leader and as a human being,
and eventually more success will come to you.

5. Build lasting relationships – Whether it is achieving difficult targets as a team, resolving conflicts,
or finding your next job, relationships are the key to success. They are a force multiplier helping you
achieve outcomes, which you can never do on your own. Moreover, relationships are not just about
a means to an end. They are an end in themselves. Man is a social animal. We crave for trust and
togetherness. Deep relationships bring joy and warmth to life making it more meaningful. So, build
trust-based relationships and nurture them with care. They will be your most important asset in life.

6. Stay humble and true to your values – One of the negative consequences of success is
arrogance. Sometimes successful people become too full of themselves, stop listening and
eventually lose touch with reality. That is the beginning of their end. So, do not let success or
position go to your head. Always stay humble, grounded, natural and spontaneous. It will help you
connect with people and earn you their love & respect.

7. Keep balance and pursue interests beyond work – Business school is a phase of life when one
tends to be obsessed about career. Life is not a sprint; it is more like a marathon. You need to learn
how to sustain yourselves for the long run. For that, cultivate interests and passions outside of
work. They will give you a fresh and deeper perspective on life. They will also recharge and
rejuvenate you and ensure that you have the energy to play a long innings.

 Worksheet

A leader is far more than a label - leadership is about taking actions to create sustained, positive
transformations within an organization. Great leaders align their own values and vision with
those of their business and help operationalize them for the future. The most meaningful way
to demonstrate these skills is to passionately communicate your shared vision and practice
what your company stands for. Leaders also cultivate committed employees who strive to lead
as well.

Telephone Skills

MATERIAL AND SOFTWARE

Telephone, Handsets, Notepad, Pen

INTRODUCTION

This module will give students the skills to communicate effectively over the phone. With the
aid of role plays , videos and group discussions. Students will learn the correct way to make a
good first impression, take clear messages, listen positively and handle problems with
confidence.

The interaction between stakeholders, whether it is internal in an organization or external with

partners or clients, is fraught with opportunities for misunderstanding. That is why effective
communication also involves listening, which is itself an essential soft skill. Without actively
listening to customers, clients, or project partners, problem- solving becomes much more
difficult and time- consuming.

PROCEDURE

1. All the students will be divided into pairs of two students each.
2. Different situations will be given to each pair.
3. They will be asked to make a professional phone call and keep in mind the components
of communication process viz., sender, message, channel, receiver and feedback.
4. Keeping in mind the guidelines given to them for placing the calls and answering the
calls, student will understand the situation to their best level and give their best
performance.
5. Different situations, such as, making a phone call to travel agent for enquiry, phone call
to team members for a scheduled meeting, phone call for requesting an urgent leave
from a boss, phone call for enquiring information for admission into a college, phone
call to enquire about a job vacancy, etc.
6. Each student will be given fifteen minutes to prepare for the call.
7. And then they will be assessed on the basis of their performance during the phone call.
 8. Through this activity, students will become expert both in placing and answering calls
and will also get to know the challenges one face in using telephone as a communication
tool.

WORKSHEET

In this fast and furious age we live in, one of the more important issues being addressed in the
workforce is a lack of effective and proper telephone skills and etiquette. How many times have
you been upset or put off by a call center or business representative who had no telephone
etiquette? This professional deficiency will create a negative perception of your business and
cause a loss of customers and revenue.

The following top 10 tips to improve telephone skills will help develop a positive and
professional atmosphere with regard to your business:

1. Speak precisely

The caller cannot see you to discern your facial expressions and it is therefore important you
talk in a clear manner that is slightly slow with a positive effort.

2. Do not shout

Using a normal tone of voice is imperative in order to keep the level of stress at a minimum.
Talking loudly will annoy the caller and create tension.

3. No drinking, no eating, and no gum

The person on the other end of the phone line has no desire to listen to your chewing or
gulping. It is rude and very unprofessional.

4. Use proper language

Do not swear or curse, stay away from slang words and improper language. It is offensive to
many individuals and shows disrespect.

5. Use their proper name

Never address the caller by their first name as this will impart a familiarity that does not exist.
Always use their proper (last) name and title when addressing them.
 6. Listen attentively

Allow the caller to express their reasons for contacting you and listen to what they say.
Restating what was said or repeating it back to them is a sign of a good listener. Plus it is always
best to verify a message to ensure accuracy.

7. Patience is a virtue

Allow the caller time to vent their frustrations. Do not engage your emotions and become rude
or snappish. Remain calm and speak with a low and monotone voice in order to assuage the
caller’s rage. Incoming calls – always ask if you can place the caller on hold for a moment. Never
set the phone down without asking or placing the call on hold. It is unprofessional and the caller
may misunderstand something they overhear. Once you have placed the incoming call on hold
as well, go back to the first caller and thank them for holding.

8. Focus on the call

Do not allow any distractions as it is critical to give the caller your full attention. If you allow
someone in the office to pull your attention away from the phone call, the caller will become
upset and angered.

9. Properly Identify who you are

Make sure you tell the caller your name and your company’s name so that they know who is on
the phone with them and that they have called the desired place of business. When leaving a
message, be brief, to the point, and clearly state your name, the company you work for, the call
back telephone number and the date and time of your call.

e-mail is a communication tool which is used for business and organizational purpose.
WORKSHEET

Tips for Composing Clear, Concise & Responsive Emails

1. Determine Your Desired Outcome

Most people know roughly what they want, but do not take the time to clearly think it through.
This is how we end up with ambiguous or rambling email. Without a clear understanding of our
desired end results, our thoughts are disorganized and we can easily confuse the receiver.

2. Quickly Answers, “What’s the Point?”

People want to know “what do you need from me?” Answer this question quickly. Skip long
introductions, backgrounds, compliments and details. Jump to the point. State it clearly using
minimal words.

If action is needed, make it clear what the desired action is from the recipient.

3. State Benefits Clearly

If a pitch is presented, make sure it includes many clearly stated, easily understood benefits for
the receiver.

4. Save the Whole Story – Stick to the Facts.

People tend to say too much in email. We feel compelled to describe all the details and disclose
the whole of our existence so that the receiver can understand the whole picture.

5. Check the Tone

When we meet people face-to-face, we use the other person's body language, vocal tone, and
facial expressions to assess how they feel. Email robs us of this information, and this means that
we can't tell when people have misunderstood our messages.

6. Proofreading

Finally, before you hit "send," take a moment to review your email for spelling, grammar, and
punctuation mistakes. Make sure that the information you are supposed to share is written in
the best way possible so that you receive the outcome in the desired manner.

Presentation and Public Speaking

MATERIAL AND SOFTWARE

INTRODUCTION

This module will help students to develop confidence and skills in giving speeches, by exploring
techniques for preparing and delivering talks, as well as exploring ways to engage audience in a
range of situations.

PROCEDURE

1. All the students will be asked to enter auditorium of the college with a notepad and a
pen and take their seats.
2. Students will now be asked to remain quiet and prepare themselves for the
documentary which will be played on the screen.
3. This documentary will have public speaking videos of famous personalities.
4. Students will see and analyze the personalities of the famous speakers. They will be
amazed to learn the effect that these famous leaders make on their audience.
5. Students will make short notes on the guidelines for effective speaking. Also, they will
try to reflect on the body language and voice intonation of these personalities.
6. Afterwards, each student will be called on stage and made to speak on him/herself for
ten minutes each.
7. Through this activity, students will learn how they can be good orators because success
is all about communicating your ideas in the best possible way.
 WORKSHEET

 Hold up your end with compelling material. It can be simple and engaging to make eye-
catching slides and graphics.
 The most effective Power Point presentations are simple – charts that are easy to
understand, and graphics that reflect what the speaker is saying.
 Power Point’s lure is the capacity to convey ideas and support a speaker’s remarks in a
concise manner. If you want to emphasize a statistic in Power Point, consider using a
graphic or image to convey the point.
 One of the most prevalent and damaging habits of Power Point users is to simply read
the visual presentation to the audience. Not only is that redundant, but it makes even
the most visually appealing presentation boring to the bone.
 Again, PowerPoint is most effective as a visual accompaniment to the spoken word.
Experienced PowerPoint users aren’t bashful about letting the screen go blank on
occasion.
 A striking contrast between words, graphics and the background can be very effective in
conveying both a message and emotion.
 Don’t limit your presentation to what PowerPoint offers. Use outside images and
graphics for variety and visual appeal, including video.
 Never lose the perspective of the audience. Once you’re finished drafting your
PowerPoint slides, assume you’re just one of the folks listening to your remarks as you
review them. If something is unappealing, distracting or confusing, edit ruthlessly.
Chances are good your overall presentation will be the better for it.
