Many of our best Undergraduate Engineering Universities are focused on advancing the state of the art in applied technology; requiring engineering students to spend their entire undergraduate education focused on the ever expanding universe of technical facts and theory. At the same time, they pay little or no attention to the non-technical and vocational skills needed to ensure a successful engineering career.

Universities are focused on expanding what you know. Careers are based on what you can do.

FACT: When surveyed, most students say they chose engineering, not because they knew they wanted to be engineers, but because they were good in math and science and wanted a vocation with a high salary and job security. In fact, most students do not know what a career engineer does in the Real World.

PROBLEM #1: Today’s disposable society provides most engineering students with little in the way of hands-on technical experience, stifling their intellectual curiosity and their enthusiasm to collect the breadth of information which feeds the engineering problem solving and creation process.

PROBLEM #2: Universities primarily focus on providing engineering students with technical skills, knowledge and theories. They offer little to support the development of collaborative skills, leadership, vocational orientation and Real World problem solving needed to establish a successful engineering career.

THE SOLUTION: Preparation for a successful engineering career calls for you to learn and master a wide range of interpersonal, collaborative, leadership, vocational and problem-solving skills outside your required University Curriculum.
