Advice for young engineers: Learn in the field, not just behind a desk Sponsored by MHI_Group
ShutterstockThe same is true for engineers, and having done both jobs, I appreciate the importance and value of hands-on experience.
My father was a harbor pilot at the Port of Boston, and I shared his love of the sea. I used to spend hours building round-bottomed tugboats out of square plastic blocks, which is an engineering challenge in itself. I sensed back then that the path to success started with getting my fingernails dirty, so to speak, and I was excited about the prospect of doing fieldwork. But it was much later that I appreciated the true value of those early experiences operating power plants, connecting the theoretical side of engineering and design with its practical application to real-world projects.
These insights proved invaluable when I moved to an office-based customer service role, which involved regular collaboration with field service engineers to resolve customer issues. My knowledge and practical field experience helped us find new ways to overcome challenges on different projects, instead of relying on narrowly defined textbook solutions. It also earned respect from my colleagues, as an experience-based viewpoint is often regarded as highly credible.
