From Student to Engineer Brian Shell

This textbook tackles the task that details "The Journey of the Engineer" and creates its college course. The 15 week course provides a semester's perspective covering the vast aspects of the road an engineering student may travel over the course of their career as an engineer. It includes 15 chapters which act as the course pack for this undergraduate college course. They touch upon the undergraduate experience, going to grad school, being a teaching and/or research assistant, PhD and post-doctorate considerations, working for a corporation, working for a start-up, and working for a mid-sized firm. It also discusses getting a good job, the unemployment blues, financial aspects, teaching as a professor, and finally... intellectual property concerns. It aims to offer illumination.
