Roman points out that engineering is more than
being mathematically facile and technologically
creative. "Ultimately," he says, "it's about people
doing great things in service to other people and
society -- something no mathematical expression can
quite capture."

IEEE-USA's New E-Book: Transitioning from Student
to Engineer offers insights to help ease the transition
from student to engineer.

Transitioning from Student to Engineer is available at:
https://ieeeusa.org/shop/careers/transitioning-fromstudent-to-engineer/
It is only $2.99 for members and $4.99 for nonmembers.

Seeking Participants for the 2019 Salary Survey

Calling all engineering students and recent
graduates: Did you know that 15 percent of your
career will require technical skills -- while 85 percent
of it will demand professional or "people" skills?
To help engineering students and those who are
in the earliest years of their careers, author Harry
T. Roman has written IEEE-USA's new E-book,
Transitioning from Student to Engineer. This slim,
but idea-packed volume is overflowing with solid
advice that everyone in its target audience should
read and note.
Roman introduces the importance of people skills
in a way most students and young engineers can
relate. "For the past four or five years," he writes,
"you have been totally immersed in technical subject
matter, probably barely tolerating a humanities
course interlude here and there -- and perhaps
wondering why you even have to bother with it...

U.S. IEEE higher-grade members* soon will receive
an invitation from IEEE-USA President Tom Coughlin
(research@research-mail.ieee.org) with a unique link
to participate in IEEE-USA's annual salary survey.
Your participation will help create a more accurate
snapshot of technology professionals' compensation,
and for your time, you will receive 10 free uses of
the IEEE-USA Salary Calculator and a free copy of
the 2019 Salary & Benefits Report -- both available
later this year! Use the salary data to benchmark your
current benefits, evaluate salary and benefits offers,
and provide a valuable resource for young engineers
entering the workplace.
*Sorry, Student members are not eligible to participate, but
Young Professionals are!
