Abstract :
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
