Early career engineers as stakeholders of mechanical engineering education... 

And while there are clearly delineated professional codes for engineers, without the ethics competency, these codes do collide with climate and culture in the workplace as practice. Early career engineers are often challenged as to what to do next, how to do it, and why to follow these canons. However, the benefits in utilizing the ethics competency as a part of the DNA of mechanical engineering education can better equip practitioners for such encounters. 

The lack of opportunity to develop systems, sustainability and ethics competency within the educational experience creates difficulties for early career engineers. These mechanical engineers may find it difficult to address challenges encountered because they do not possess the competencies required by workplace. This chapter provides alternative examples to conventional methods, designed to benefit students, employers, society and faculty. Moreover, it explores the future of mechanical engineering practice in the context of job opportunities, hiring... 

The specific ASME V2030 recommendations are based on a rich set of data from over 2,500 contributors drawn from the experience of engineering managers and early career engineers in industry, university mechanical engineering department heads and faculty, and education leaders in ASME. In addition the work has been informed by exemplary work done by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE, 2005) —... 

Among the greatest concerns noted among current ME graduates by their employers, as well as the early career engineers themselves, are -simply put - a lack of practical experience in how devices are made and work, a lack of familiarity with industry codes and standards, and a lack of a systems perspective and approach to the design and product development process. 

Both industry supervisors and early career engineers emphasize that graduates need stronger professional skills, e.g., interpersonal skills. 

Louis George Puls was a career engineer with the US Government, who worked on President Roosevelt s Tennessee Valley Authority TV A, becoming director of the US Bureau of Reclamation USBR of the Western USA. He was the successor of Kenneth B. Keener (1888-1971). Puls was involved in water projects and dams, not only in the West, but also in Honduras, Mexico, and the USSR. The Puls papers available at USBR Library contain personal files, an autobiography, water project papers, scrap-books, maps, photos, and engineering drawings. 

USA Today announdng its New Faces in Engineering program, which recognizes the work of early-career engineers. 

During the course of their career, engineers will likely he called upon to write memoranda and letters and prepare technical reports, journal articles, and specifications. Before considering these types of writing in detail, we shall discuss some general guidehnes for effective writing.
