ACQUIRING PROFESSIONAL SKILLS

      Leadership Organization, planning, logistics Communication, public speaking, writing Financial, cost management Teamwork/interpersonal Motivation/innovation IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, THE ENGINEER OF THE 21ST CENTURY WILL NEED TO REMAIN UP-TO-DATE TECHNICALLY AND POSSESS STRONG NON-TECHNICAL SKILLS!

Controlled vs Random Experimentation

Curiosity is basic to fundamental discovery.

Systematic, controlled discovery is always preferable to random investigation and awkward explanations.

An amateur works until he gets it right; the professional works until he cannot get it wrong.
