10 things you did not learn at the University

Posted by Unknown Monday, June 25, 2012

6 - Be open to learn from anyone. Not only the best.
A positive attitude must prevail in the mind of an engineer, even in the worst times. Builds confidence and provides security to the rest of the working group. Do not be pessimistic to believe that what is invented in advance, will be impossible. Learn to accept ideas, but from other people with less experience, listen to all views, watch the movements or competitive products and to sit and re-examine theories related to the project, may be the key to achieving a successful product for the company where you work. Pessimism, obtuse behavior, or not to accept ideas that do not close our minds, can wreck a project that other companies successfully reach, thanks to open-mindedness of its engineers.

7 - Our boss or manager, not the enemy.
A good manager will always try to be successful in the work you are assigned as ultimately, success will also mean it. You must always remember that a manager advises people with high potential, determines the salaries they "deserve" their employees, writes and detailed job performance of individual employees, assigns projects and work according to the skills of engineers who is in charge and many other direct actions that mark the direction of our actions, our attitude in a company. Therefore think that our chief is our enemy is a very serious mistake that can lead to failure in a company. If enmity or antagonism are factors beyond the orbit of work, always have the option of requesting a reallocation of tasks or a new location within the company. It will also be very healthy to do a deep introspective vision to learn to know each other better and find out if we act on impulse or non-existent prejudices against persons who, as mentioned earlier, want to help us be successful together, not eliminate us.

8 - Be grateful to the University
Return to the home that taught you to grow, to fight and be a professional, can be a significant motivation for students who seek to achieve a job as you can get to have you. Learn from your experience, the ups and downs and challenges that life has put you on the road and have managed to overcome to get to have professional success you have today. Provide lectures, conferences, seminars, specific industry support and practical issues are some of the activities that will teach anyone to do, but the fruit of your hard work will invite you to make as a gesture of thanks, rich for the spirit and very useful for future generations.

9 - Be happy with your work.
This is very simple and does not require much explanation. If you feel repulsion or a natural aversion for each job that touches you do, you should reconsider very good job that touches you take or, in the worst case, you should consider dedicating to another branch of science. An engineer loves his job, is happy with each positive result, however minimal, and will always on his face a picture of happiness contagious, showing that it feels fortunate in life. That their work is what we always wanted.



10 - Manage your own career breaking down myths and study until the end.
No one will manage your career for you. Only you will decide if you want to be a freelancer, an industrial employee, or if your momentum takes you to be leader of a multinational group of companies. Everything is within you and discover just never expect someone else to do for you. Of course freedom of choice brings with it many risks of losing everything achieved over many years of sacrifice in a few minutes, but within the urban myths, which must not fall there are two very important: a) In dynamic business world today, no job lasts forever and b) Never believe that your company, boss or manager will look after you and your career. Have too many complications in his life to "adopt" a new "son."
Finally, never stop studying, learning, moving on to new technologies through post-graduate courses, conferences, publications and specialized techniques for each element can help you stay current. Do not think you get a title is to finish school, that would be a grave mistake. Accepts and understands that there is a finish line, but a new starting point. It is the beginning of a lifelong study until the end of your life as an active worker for not being left out of technological advance. Otherwise, what would the title validity of an electronics engineer who can not work with an FPGA? There will always be someone younger than you, on your tail. Be sure to advance, life has just begun and the road is very long. The goal is not the title, is all life.
