IEEE English for Engineering Individual

Advance technical communications skills when speaking, reading, and writing English.

English has become the international language of science. As technology advances globally, engineers must enter the workplace with the ability to communicate across national and cultural boundaries. English is the vehicle for those advancing technology today.

Technical students and faculty who speak English as a second language may experience difficulty understanding, speaking, reading, or writing on technical topics in English. This can affect collaboration, instruction, getting published, and ultimately one?s success. IEEE has partnered with Cambridge University Press to provide an interactive program of engaging online English instruction to address this need.

Develop English skills in four areas

• Speaking in technical English
• Listening and comprehension
• Technical writing
• Reading and understanding technical publications

• Communicate effectively and share ideas with colleagues
• Strengthen written English communication, which can help authors get published in top journals
• Enable greater collaboration with global research teams
• Identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement by taking the placement exam
• Learn to communicate effectively, lead classroom conversations, lectures, and assess assignments and projects
• Develop effective presentation capabilities
