In addition, the book will offer unique help on first-time experience working in other countries with engineering cultures that can be considerably different from that found in the U.S. Reviews essentials of management for any new engineer suddenly thrust into responsibility Emphasizes skills that can get you promotedand pitfalls that can get you fired Expanded case study to show typical evolution of a new engineer handed responsibility for a major design project.
