Many of us may not remember much of what we learned during our college years in an engineering program. Some of the coursework likely directly impacts our day-to-day engineering career while much of it does not. However, after a few short days and weeks on the job and continuing for years, we all realize that there is much about a successful career as a consulting structural engineer that is not taught in school at all. Passing this critical on-the-job training (OJT) to younger staff, so our firms can continue to prosper and grow into the future, is no small task. This training typically happens in the day-to-day trenches of project management, but lessons learned should be shared with all staff on a regular basis so all can benefit. Discussing and sharing hard and soft skills, failures, and successes are extremely valuable in developing younger engineers.
