Workshop Description:
Do you feel your engineering education fully prepared you for the real
world? Are you able to cope with non-technical issues like dealing with
clients and the public? Do you need to develop better writing, speaking and listening skills that will help you advance in your career? Are you afraid that things will change faster than you can learn them, thereby making you less competitive in your field?
Drawing from these and other concerns, Carl Selingers Stuff You Do not
Learn in Engineering School provides straightforward, practical skills
to acquaint young engineers, indeed all professionals, with
important non-technical issues, discussing them in plain English and
offering many effective actions. These skills include making decisions,
setting priorities, running meetings, speaking, writing and listening
better, leading teams, dealing with stress and having fun, and
understanding themselves and others.
