Abstract
You went into engineering because it looked interesting, challenging, productive, and lucrative. You can probably make a living just applying your native aptitude for science and math, along with your hard-earned education, to whatever tasks your company requires. But who wants to just get by?  You want to succeed at this game, and success takes more than just technology savvy.  Understanding the dynamics of human organizations, corporate cultures, career aspirations, and the foibles of interpersonal communication, against a background of global competition and global challenges, is crucial to success.  Join Dr. Robert Colwell as he draws heavily from his three decades of design and management experience, with real examples of things he got right as well as others that he did not. This world depends on successful engineering; Dr. Colwell will talk about what that is, and how you can get there.
