Good Engineering Traits

You might make a good engineer if you:

• Are interested in solving problems
• Are interested in working with other people
• Are interested in serving human needs
• Want to make things work better
• Strive for continual improvement
• Communicate well
• Able to adapt to a changing environment

You or your parents may know an engineer that you can speak with. If not, ask your teacher or guidance counselor to arrange a visit by an engineer to your school. Talk to that engineer about what traits he or she is using in their job.
