502 Assignment

This document contains an assignment response for a course on Engineering Law and Management. It addresses two questions about engineering responsibilities. For the first question on quality, the response discusses how quality is important for engineers to analyze methods and systems to meet customer requirements and expectations. It notes quality engineering encompasses design, development and manufacturing processes to improve quality and reduce waste. For the second question on technical communication, the response explains that engineers must communicate daily with colleagues, supervisors and clients. It stresses the importance of communication skills for engineers to ensure all project participants understand each other and for engineering managers to relay information to set their engineers up for success.

Questions
Explain how the following form parts of engineeringresponsibilities;
1. Quality
2. Technical communication

Answers
1. Quality is an important aspect when it comes to engineering. Quality helps engineer in analysis
methods and the development of systems to ensure products or services are designed, developed and
manufactured to meet or exceed the customer’s requirements and expectations. Quality in
engineering encompasses all activities related to the analysis of a product’s design, development and
manufacturing processes for the purpose of improving the quality of the product and the production process
while identifying and reducing waste in its many forms. Quality Engineering methods and tools are often
developed and implemented using a cross-functional approach involving multiple businesses and
engineering disciplines.

2. Engineers have to communicate on a daily basis — with each other, with supervisors, with people in
different departments, and even with clients. Their work is complex and technical, but not everyone they
work with has the same technical expertise, which makes it even more important for them to have good
communication skills. Effective communication in engineering is critical to ensuring that all project
participants are on the same page. When it comes to demonstrating good communication skills, managers
and others in leadership positions face a high bar. Nearly every part of a manager’s job involves
communication. Engineering managers communicate with clients and their own supervisors about new
projects. They also relay project parameters and deadlines to their reports, while providing updates to their
managers and clients. Good managers invest significant amounts of time in setting their engineers up for
success. Moreover, regular communication builds trust and makes it easier for all team members to do their
jobs well. For engineers to be successful over the course of their careers, communication skills are just as
important as technical knowledge. This is certainly the case in engineering firms, where collaboration is
key. One of the best ways for engineering managers to bring value to their companies and help their own
careers is by learning and practicing good communication skills.
