Knowing Your Function and Expertise

As engineers, it’s important to know your strengths and forte in the field. Due to the nature of engineering having a wide net of work, you need to establish which particular field you are inclined to work for. Identify if you lean towards being a foundation of tools, goal-oriented for problem-solving types of work, hands on development procedures, or specialized field tasks. The main objective here is to set a boundary of tasks that you can work on in order to increase the productivity and better the quality of services or products for customers.
