Community Services

In episode 133 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I talk to civil engineer Miranda Patton, a business development director at MNS Engineers. We talk about growing the engineering workforce, women in leadership, community services, STEM education, and the future of public infrastructure in America. 

Engineering Quotes:

Here Are Some of the Questions I Ask Miranda:

  • What made you move from the public sector to the private sector?
  • How did you end up getting involved in business development?
  • What are some of the things that civil engineers can do ahead of time when it comes to getting a project funded?
  • What are some action steps that civil engineers can take to get involved in community services and committees?
  • Could you share some thoughts around growing the engineering workforce?
  • What advice can you give young women in civil engineering who are looking to become a leader in their field?

Here Are Some Key Points Discussed in This Episode About Focusing on People and Community Services as a Civil Engineer:

Regardless of your current career situation, you will find great value in these start-up strategies.

Focus on Your Planning to Be Productive in Your Engineering Career

December 27, 2018 By EMI

Productive

Most engineers I know are interested in achieving a relatively high level of productivity in their professional and work activities.  Since most are working long hours, they aren’t interested in spending time on none-value added activities.  Those who are successful in optimizing their productive time, do so through focusing on developing a plan of action.

Productivity is associated with creating value.  While you can feel productive attending project meetings, reviewing designs, or obtaining closure on a long-standing issue, it may or may not result in value beyond making you feel productive.  In my mind, productivity (a.k.a. creating value) comes only in achieving movement towards the accomplishment of a defined goal.

With this concept in mind, let’s unpack how to get from focus to productivity in your engineering career.
