Making connections - ABCs of what engineering schools don't teach

This paper describes the information what engineering schools don't teach. Students who graduate with degrees in engineering will leave school with a great deal of technical knowledge, it's all the nontechnical information, which wasn't taught in class, that will ultimately determine each student's level of success. The paper includes Carl Selinger's guidance to engineering students in a professional world. His goals for the book are simple: to introduce engineers to what Selinger calls real-world issues, to guide engineers in assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and to improving them selves in the needed areas. The reactions to Selinger's ideas from working engineers and students who have attended one of the author's seminars are peppered throughout the book, offering a kind of reality check for the reader in terms of the value of his message
