WORLD-CLASS ENGINEERS are:

Aware of the World

World-class Engineers are aware of the global nature of their profession, and the challenges and opportunities that it brings; they are sensitive to cultural differences and the diversity that exists within individual cultures.

World-class Engineers are solidly grounded in the fundamentals of their discipline. This solid grounding allows them to tackle complex, real-world problems and serves as the foundation on which they build their knowledge and expertise through lifelong learning.

Technically Broad
World-class Engineers are conversant with other engineering and scientific disciplines related to their field, allowing them to work on problems that are cross-disciplinary.

Versatile
World-class Engineers are capable of learning new skills as they grow in their careers and of applying their engineering problem-solving skills in non-traditional fields such as financial services, health care, and education.

Effective in Team Operations
World-class Engineers are highly productive members of teams, co-located or geographically dispersed; they communicate effectively within and outside the team.

Effective in Leadership Positions
World-class Engineers are effective leaders at all levels, from technical team leader to CEO.
