Transitioning new engineers into professionals who can blend in and contribute to the technical organization is, at best, doubtful. Trained in the "nuts and bolts" of a technical subject, new engineers have little to no training on the "soft" skills of how to work within an organization. This robust guide shows new engineers how to quickly operate and succeed within their new engineering organization.

Navigating the Engineering Organization: A New Engineer's Guide focuses on the group behaviors of technical organizations and provides a rigorous organizational framework to operate from and delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and experience. Through numerous case studies, the book presents actual experiential guidance and offers a method on how to extend the insights covered in the book and turn them into a valuable personal model valid throughout the engineer's career. Readers will benefit by quickly understanding the unique values and expectations within their new engineering organization; guide them to discover how to correctly respond to these expectations and then act on these insights to deliver successful results, now and throughout their career.

The approach and goals found in this book provide a building block to help all new engineers make the leap from student to professional and succeed in their new engineering organization.
