This is an essential, easy-to-read guide for students, early-career engineers, supervisors, and human resources professionals. It is written by one of the world's leading authorities on global engineering practices with decades of research, 40 years of teaching engineering, and 50 years of working as a professional engineer in several countries. This guide will teach essential engineering soft skills and specialized capabilities to work as an engineer that universities cannot teach. The author also explores how to gain a job as a new engineer and delves into how engineers gain access to informal technical knowledge, the experience of other engineers, how to gain the willing collaboration of others to make things happen, and how to work safely in hazardous environments. This book also lists effective ways to use the latest digital collaboration tools and artificial intelligence apps, as well as how to estimate costs, generate commercial value, and develop cost-effective sustainable solutions. Lastly, it shows how to understand and navigate the complex working systems and social cultures of engineering firms in a globalized market for engineering services.
