What is it like to be an engineer nowadays? Technology is rapidly changing Affected by increasing automation Increasing use of software skills to do your job Overwhelming availability of information Online and digital involvement with fellow workers Continuously learning to keep up Increasing opportunities for changing jobs
What are the best/worst parts of the job? Pride in seeing your ideas come to life Being involved in something that is new and developing Technical and analytical work Being challenged to find solutions and fix problems Envisioning new and better ways to accomplish things Working on a team to achieve the same goals Failure of a product due to flawed thinking or planning Redoing work to fix problems
What steps do students need to take if they want to become an engineer of any kind? Become involved in STEM organizations and clubs Establish networks with like minded students/professionals Be on the lookout for internships Develop communication skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening)
What does a typical day look like? Getting to work on time Meetings to update management on work progress Getting new assignments Resume work from where it was left the day before Performing calculations Calling suppliers to get information Developing work plans, and schedules Documenting work Reviewing the work of other engineers Lunch and relax Continue and Finish
How does what students are learning now connect to this career? STEM courses provide technical background Critical thinking skills - courses involving reflection and evaluation Communicating with others Understanding relationships between technology and people Teamwork skills in sports After class clubs
