C.3.5. Management Education and Professional Communication Skills : Marine Engineering includes a systems approach to solving problems involving management of persons, machines and materials. To work with people from different backgrounds, the engineer has to have some training in behavioural Sciences, Industrial Psychology etc. Also communication skills are as important as management and engineering skills. The engineering curriculum therefore needs to include some courses on communication skills along with economics, finance and marketing. Group discussions, seminars, symposia should also be a part of the curriculum.
