5 Underrated Tools for Engineers Mastering Professional Skills

Being an engineer is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. There are so many things that we engineers get to do, but there are some tools out there that may not seem as important at first, but they really will help you become a better engineer.

I have worked with several people over the years who were absolutely amazing at what they did, but were horrible when it came to communicating their ideas. I spent more time trying to figure out what they were talking about than actually working on my part of the project. This is where your communication skills will be very important. You need to make sure that you can explain what you are doing in a way that someone else could take over for you if needed.

I have seen many engineers who were excellent at their jobs, but had horrible time management skills. Some of them would have the project done in half the time it took others and then some of them would just not get things done on time because they would lose track of time or spend too much time on one part of the project.

I've worked with people who were very good at what they did, but didn't really like to work with other people. I have also seen people who loved working with others and couldn't stand being alone for any length of time. You need to know yourself so that you can figure out how you want to work best. If you are someone who likes being by yourself, then find ways to be alone when you need to be alone.

I've worked with people who were excellent at their jobs and had great personalities, but they were terrible at following through on things. They would start something but never finish it. They would get bored easily and move on to something else before completing what they started.

Finally, I have worked with people who had all the skills listed above, but didn't know when to shut up! They could talk about their job for hours nonstop without taking a breath. It was as though they were trying to show off how much they knew about their work.
