There are a lot of important skills needed for a career in engineering.
As well as academic skills, future engineers need to be able to present
data, work in project teams, carry out experiments, problem solve and
write reports. This book emphasises the importance of these core skills,
and supports engineering students as they successfully navigate their
courses and move forward into a career of ongoing development.
Written in a friendly and encouraging style, Skills for engineering and
built environment students:
- Provides guidance on both the study and the professional practice of
engineering.
- Addresses common worries and pitfalls, debunking myths and
demystifying jargon.
- Helps with milestones such as group projects, presentations, work
placements and job interviews.
Supported by interviews with students, lecturers, young engineers and
employers, Skills for Engineering and Built Environment Students
guides students and early-career professionals through an important
transition stage, thoroughly preparing them for the world of work.
