Synopsis

This autobiography recounts the real-life experiences of a poor Italian kid from Monaca, Pennsylvania, who loved to tinker and problem-solve. It details how he worked as a car mechanic to pay for his engineering education at the University of Pittsburgh to become a professional electrical engineer, consultant, and business owner. With keen intellect, deep insight, and humor, the author:1. points out personality traits that indicate whether an individual has an aptitude for a STEM-related career;2. provides sage advice for college-bound young adults pursuing an engineering degree; 3. outlines supplemental education that engineering majors should consider, like writing, psychology, and public speaking, to broaden marketability and job opportunities; and4. offers down-to-earth, practical wisdom for dealing with both good and bad supervisors throughout a career. Bolded snippets throughout the book bring into focus the fundamental take-aways of the engineer’s experiences.Inspirational stories about the aerospace industry, analog versus digital technology, and building communications networks offer aspiring engineers an exciting real-world perspective on electrical engineering advances over six decades. Based on his wealth of experience, this recently retired Professional Engineer (PE) says that being adaptable and having good people skills create an excellent foundation for long-term career fulfillment and success. So, if you are self-determined and have a mind that wants to take grand and simple ideas and put them into practice ... You May Want to be an Engineer.
