Overview: Utilising skills in Emotional Intelligence (EQ) can facilitate the development of communication competences, which are considered to be a fundamental aspect in the education of engineers, especially by senior international engineering bodies. EQ impacts significantly on the acquisition and expression of communication skills, including listening skills. Likewise, self-actualisation can affect EQ-communication skills. It is important to avoid what Goleman terms trained incapacity by educating engineering students so that they are better equipped with EQ skills that can aid them not just in daily life and work, but in interacting and communicating with colleagues and team members. Intercultural issues play an import role in this increasingly globalised professional community.
