Professional Networking
Fearless Networking for Engineers
by Elizabeth Lions
This webinar, Fearless Networking for Engineers, will provide insight into why networking is important and provide tips on how to integrate networking into your professional development activity. The importance of networking goes beyond the job search. Networking is about building relationships for professional development, meeting new peers and having a network to fall back on when you are in a career transition. Professionals are consistently told the value and importance of networking, but most people are still uncomfortable putting themselves out there. In this webinar, Elizabeth Lions clears up the confusion around professional networking.
Mentoring

Geek in the Lead: Growing from Engineer to Manager
by Dr. B. Michael Aucoin, PE, PMP
Project management
Two Brains Are Better Than One: Right-Brained Project Management
by Dr. B. Michael Aucoin, PE, PMP
Project work is an important element of the engineering environment today. But individuals and organizations struggle with how to manage projects successfully. Nearly two-thirds of workplace projects fail to meet their targets or must be terminated. In contrast, studies of projects that have performed phenomenally well attribute much of their success to the right brain – a powerful processing juggernaut that is often misunderstood and whose potential is scarcely used. Learn tips that you can apply immediately to be effective on projects, and build a solid foundation for a successful and rewarding career as a leader.
People skills
People Skills in a Competitive Environment
by Joe Lillie
This professional development webinar will help individuals working in technical fields by providing useful knowledge on people skills and other topics not included in the engineering educational environment. Participants should expect to learn more about the competitive environment and how to maximize professional opportunities through development and use of people skills.
