  16. Conclusion • Communication skill is essential for scientists and engineers • Publication is the goal of research • Use Engineering Village effectively to gather research information • Learn to inform and to persuade effectively • Learn to convey your idea clearly • Scientific research is not complete until the results have been published • The education of a scientist is not complete until the ability to publish has been established
