The Business Climate for Engineering Communication

Module by: The Cain Project in Engineering and Professional Communication. E-mail the author

This PowerPoint file of 14 slides introduces several distinctive features of today’s work climate. Slides identify challenges to productivity in a complex work environment, and provide strategies for working under time and material constraints, managing diversity, and delegating and communicating efficiently and effectively. In an intense work environment, engineering teams must learn to maximize resources to create value faster. This presentation explains how changing technologies for collaboration and communication require new approaches to the way teams work together, adapt to audiences, and ultimately add value to their collaborations.

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
