[ Engineering Skills ]

Searching “engineering skills” online yields these results:  communication, problem solving, creativity, leadership, teamwork, attention to detail, design, management, critical thinking, collaboration.  “Technical knowledge” is just one line item amongst all the others.

I think this is a huge shift in the view of engineering skills.  I like it.  In my early days, 30 years ago, engineers did do the calculations (by hand, on paper), and worked in the background.

What a shift in role through my work life.  Engineers are, and should be, collaborators and critically-thinking problem solvers.  Importantly, we have an applied sciences background underpinning our approach to work.
