Interpretation of the quote

“While all engineers should have good communication skills, global engineers face additional challenges, making effective communication an imperative.” Debra Kraft, Careers Content Writer, Demand Media (2016) Global Engineers face more language barriers and cultural differences as compared to engineers who work locally mainly. Although engineers need to have good communication skills to communicate effectively, global engineers have the added challenge of needing to understand more social and cultural norms in the location they are working in.

  2. I agree with your comment that global engineers have to understand more social and cultural norms as they have to be able to adapt to the place that they are working at to be able to work well with others.

  3. I agree likewise! Working in a unfamiliar environment while having to learn and adapt to it can be a great challenge for global engineers.
