What to learn

As a bioengineer, I would love to master the skill of communication. In general, I am fairly good at explaining concepts and ideas, but in order to be truly successful in the field of engineering, communication will be of vital importance. I heard it over and over again throughout NSO and I have decided that the most important skill I can develop at this point in my life is that of precise and effective communication. All engineers are skilled in science and math, but what makes them useful to others (businesses, the world, etc.) is their ability to relay what they know and explain it in such a concise and clear fashion that those with no prior knowledge of the subject matter at hand can follow and understand instruction. By acquiring this skill throughout my time at Penn, I will become an invaluable resource for those who need the insight and expertise that I hope I may be qualified to provide once I complete the bioengineering program here at Penn Engineering.
