Question of Month: Advice for young engineers wanting to expand their knowledge?

pchan

e14 Question of the Month

New graduates, budding engineers or early career professionals can benefit from some sound career advice by experienced engineers. But what advice is the best to give them? Vote in this poll to tell the community what you think is the best advice to give young engineers.

  • I voted for 'Read electronics design publications' but really its all of them.

    Definitely you should spend as much time as you can picking the brains of other people. I think that one of the huge disadvantages of working from home is that you miss out on opportunities to learn new stuff from colleagues. Almost everything I know about machining and mechanical design I picked up from  other people at work because it was never my actual job. But the knowledge I've gained has been very useful.

  • During university, participate as a volunteer in any association where you learn to organize events, build teams, do development cooperation projects, encourage primary and secondary students towards STEM careers, network and, above all, have a good time.

    In the working world, volunteer to help seniors with any task you know nothing about, even if it is tedious and boring, and learn and grasp everything the senior offers you.

  • While we all want to say "All of the above", you don't know what you don't know - and the communities help address that.
