Abstract
Communication skills play a pivotal role in the professional activities of engineers. This article delineates activities designed to enhance the communication skills of engineering students within the framework of a capstone project course. These activities foster the development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills for diverse audiences. Statistics from the last three years reveal satisfactory overall communication skill development results while highlighting a need for further enhanced written communication abilities.
