Besides students, it will also serve as a practical guide for guidance counselors and recent engineering graduates, and contains topics infrequently found in other introductory engineering texts such as mentoring, interviewing, intellectual property, and how to navigate the variety of career choices. Every chapter contains a recommended reading list for additional information, and most chapters include problem-solving tasks that help students master the topic. * Focuses heavily on the fields of engineering, the career opportunities in each, and the skills needed once students are on the job. * Designed for the introductory high school and college freshman-level course on careers in Engineering. * There are several appendices, which include sample reports, presentations, test plans, and other examples of skills employees will use on the job.
