Successful Engineers Know a Lot More than Just Science
They have to navigate so many situations that call for so many different skillsets, attributes and ways of being a professional, very few of which are covered in our (oftentimes expensive) schooling. These characteristics are part of what we call the Hidden Curriculum of being a successful engineer. Informed by the book "Problems Solvers: Paths to becoming an Engineer" we have combed through nearly four hundred pages and twenty hours of conversations from professionals across various geographical, and vocational backgrounds to bring you the most comprehensive collection of lessons that will give you access to what they don't tell you about when it comes to being a successful engineer.
"American institutions of higher education need to narrow the gap between what the average student learns and what the average employer demands. If not, future generations of graduates are going to find themselves locked out of the job market and deprived of the chance to find meaning and purpose in work."
