    Review: "By focusing on the importance of human and social interactions in the workplace, What Every Engineer Should Know About Career Management helps engineers navigate the seemingly random whims of those around them who affect and sometimes control their lives." "Although framed in the engineering environment, the book provides observations on "people skills" relevant to all occupations. The author takes a mentorship approach by offering suggestions and anecdotes devoid of lecturing. Part I specifically addresses the life and career advancement of the engineer, from student to seasoned professional. Along the way, it explores various stops, diversions, and alternatives, including a view of the corporation as a living organism with its own unique personality that responds to stimuli of the world. Part II discusses engineering projects, product development, schedules, budgets, and related topics."--Jacket.
