This book provides career and educational guidance for engineers and those thinking about becoming engineers. Students will learn what engineering is, the author's views on who really is and who is not an engineer, what engineers do, and how they are trained. Is engineering a profession or more like a trade? The author considers this. Practicing engineers will benefit from a review of economic issues such as salary compression, and a discussion of employment agreements. There is also material on how engineers can prepare for retirement.
