摘　　要：工程师良好有效的沟通能力对工程实践及效果具有重要影响。工程师在工程实践中需要进行沟通与协调,当前全球经济合作和新媒介的出现对工程师的沟通与协调能力提出了更高的要求。美国著名工科高校都把沟通能力课程纳入工科学生培养计划,教学实践证明沟通能力课程能够促进工科学生专业成长。美国高校沟通能力课程设置有两种方式:在通识课程中开设沟通能力课程和在专业课程中开设沟通强化课程。这两种方式各有其优势与局限,不同的高校可以根据自身的情况选择可实现的方式。The good and effective communication of engineers has an important impact on engineering practice itself and its effects. Engineers need to communicate in engineering projects, and global economic cooperation and the emerge of new media put forward higher demand to communication of engineers. Well-known engineering universities in the United States incorporate communication courses into the cultivation programs of engineering students. The teaching practice proves that communication courses can contribute to the growth of engineering students’ specialty. There are two models of communication courses of American engineering universities:incorporating communication courses into general courses or embedding communication courses into specialized courses. These two modes have their own advantages and limitations respectively. Different universities can choose the mode that can be realized according to their own situation.
