Abstract Communication Apprehension is the feeling of anxiety associated with communication or in anticipating communication. Communication Apprehension is identified as a hurdle to communication and thus has implications for graduate employment (Arquero & Tejero, 2011; Yazici, 2005; Zhang, 2002). This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of communication apprehension among engineering college students, examining the level of communication apprehension and explores the influence of demographic variables on communication apprehension of engineering college students. A sample of 64 undergraduate engineering students was selected from through simple random sampling. Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24) a self-report questionnaire was administered to identify the students with high, moderate or low communication apprehension levels. The data has been analyzed using descriptive statistics. Demographic variables like age, gender, department, birth order and its association with communication apprehension has been examined.
