requires new frontiers, new visions, new tools, and new
problem solving skills. The latest trend is
globalization of commerce, science and technology
development. Change is the only unchangeable force in
nature. Engineers’ and scientists’ career markets have
gone through the following paradigms:
- 1950s-1960s:
Secure engineers in corporate world
- 1970s-1980s:
Restless and trend-knowledgeable engineers
- 1990s-2000:
Project-based engineers

Globalization, Globally competitive engineers
The goal of this
Career Workshop is to empower engineers, technologists,
and scientists and their profession to take control of
their careers.
