what is the role of an engineer in organization and how to become successfull engineer.?

Answer 1

Depends upon the type of engineer... and your definition of successful.

Most people imagine engineers as bookworms and loners that work by themselves. That's true to some extent, but in most companies engineers will work with others people, disciplines and in a team environment.

In general, to be successful (obtain a reputation of being knowledgeable and promotions), you need to work hard, speak up in a clear and concise manner, make presentations and have a good attitude. Of course, this assumes that you're competent.

Some engineers are hard workers, get the job done, but stay in their shells and crunch numbers at their desk. They still get recognition, but promotions may be a bit slower since companies are typically looking for people that will have to work other and will speak out.

For new hires, listen, learn and show that you know what you're talking about. Also, take tasks that are a slight stretch to show that you can take on more responsibility and adapt to new situations. Also, think about what you're going to say. Some new hires try to b.s. their way out of things, but the forget the senior engineer has 20+ years of experience and probably has a solution to a problem formulated in their mind. The new hire is just doing the paperwork.

One final thing. An engineer should use a spell checker.
