Explanation of Solution
There are certain situations when we have to address such a topic to such an audience which is simple a lay man or I should say non- technical person for that particular field.
Since explaining this topic “an important skill of an engineer is conveying sometimes complex and confusing scientific issues to a less informed, less scientific and less interested audience with a short span of time” is a challenging task.
An engineer has to make so many new products. He has to deal with the designing part, the research part and so many other things before he finally makes a product.
In order to explain this topic to a non- technical public audience- The first step should be to introduce what a skill mean. How the skills differ for an engineer and a non-engineer. How can an engineer best perform using his technical skills?
Define few technical skills and how are they used in the day to day life by giving an example which the audience can understand easily.
To make the topic and deliver it in such a way so that it is very interesting for a non technical person and moreover that person feels that he is able to learn something new.
Engineer should pay attention to the topic or product that is in
The presenter should make a PPT and explain them. He should add certain video clips in it and should add a game session also.
Conclusion:
So, with all the above method this topic can be best summarized for a non- technical public audience.

Samuelson We are now in the "blame phase" of the economic cycle. As the housing slump deepens and financial markets swing erratically, we've embarked on the usual search for culprits. Who got us into this mess? Our investigations will doubtlessly reveal, as they already have, much wishful thinking and miscalculation. They will also find incompetence, predatory behavior and probably some criminality. But let me suggest that, though inevitable and necessary, this exercise is also simplistic and deceptive. -- business It assumes that, absent mistakes and misdeeds, we might remain in a permanent paradise of powerful income and wealth growth. The reality, I think, is that the economy follows its own Catch-22: By taking prosperity for granted, people perversely subvert prosperity. The more we managers, investors, consumers - think that economic growth is guaranteed and that risk and…arrow_forward

Now suppose the price of labour rises to $5 per unit, but the firm still wants to produce 500 tires per day. Explain how a cost-minimizing firm adjusts to this change (with no change in technology).
