This paper is a qualitative study that explores the role of Communication Skills on the Academic Productivity of Civil Engineering students at an educational institution in the Philippines. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Communication Skills have an impact on the Academic Productivity of the students. A structured interview questionnaire through Google forms was formulated to gather the data needed. A total of eight informants were involved in this study. The results have shown that Communication Skills play a crucial role to the overall Academic Productivity of the students. In line with this, it can be concluded that Communication Skills affect not only Academic Productivity but also the relationship between the students and their peers inside and outside the educational institution. Communication Skills contribute positively to the willingness of the students to communicate effectively. The results show that the most commonly used form of communication among Civil Engineering students was casual conversation. The challenges they encountered were also explored, as were their ways to overcome them. The study further explored how communication works between these students when doing academic tasks, such as collaborative work, and how they deal with group conflicts, specifically the setting of each other's schedules. Overall, this study provides information on how Civil Engineering students at an educational institution in the Philippines communicate with one another in spite of potential conflicts that can be encountered during their communication and how it influences their Academic Productivity.
