This theory is tested by regressing the journal impact metric against thebiomedical engineering research topics across thousands of recent academic journal articles inbiomedical engineering. The

Topics like technical writing and oral presentation are not commonly perceivedby students to be in the domain of engineering while most practicing engineers would disagree[1]. Communication skills are just one example of a range of professional skills outside ofdiscipline-specific skills that can aid new engineering graduates.
