The Unwritten Laws of Engineering

Below is an excerpt from one article I read:
  • However menial and trivial your early assignments may appear, give them your best efforts.
  • There is always a premium upon the ability to get things done, and this requires energy, resourcefulness, and persistence.
  • Before asking for approval of any major action, have a definite plan and program worked out to support it.
  • Strive for conciseness and clarity in oral or written reports; be extremely careful of the accuracy of your statements.
  • One of the first things you owe your supervisor is to keep him informed of all significant developments.
  • Whenever your work affects another department or another employee, make sure they know what you are doing, and why.
  • Get the facts, make an analysis, apply judgment, and make a decision; do not hesitate or be indecisive.
  • Be interested in the people who work with you or for you, and treat them as you would want to be treated.
  • Regard your personal integrity as one of your most important assets.
  • Be careful of your personal appearance; if you are an executive, look the part.
However, the following summarizes the above information best:
 
“You should make an effort to learn what is expected of you in your job. Realize that people do form first impressions of you; people do appraise your appearance, the way you conduct yourself, and your ability to accomplish assigned tasks; and these evaluations are being made all the time.”
 
Have A Nice Day. Cheers.
