The QEEE (Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education) team conducted a Bridge Course in Spoken English from August 2014 to November 2014 with an aim to augment communication and professional skills of engineering students across the nation. BMS College of Engineering had been actively involved in the Programme. The present paper offers an overview of the Programme throwing light on the Course Content, Programme Outcome and the Course Outcome of the Bridge Course. It also reflects how the Bridge course could be instrumental in leading the Engineering students to accomplish excellence in Technical Communication.
