Abstract: In the increasingly interconnected contemporary society, employers commonly expect the engineering graduates to possess, alongside academic success evidence, a range of soft skills, of which scientific and technical communication, particularly in a language of international circulation, ranks first. This demand has led to creating and implementing a modular flexible Scientific and Technical Communication in English - STCE original course of the CLIL (content and language integrated) type. The paper aim is to evaluate the course impact, with a view to increasing its effectiveness and success by further amendments. This has been done by designing research, based on triangulating questionnaires and interviews addressed to both graduates who took (or not) the STCE course during their Master’s or Doctoral education, as well as to their employers.
