Senior Project Engineer Reviews - Page 10

When taking on a new project, set performance based incentives. Don't allow the owner to put his/her name on your patents or worse, claim them as their own when they had no input into the development.

Remain patient if you are looking to advance position to Project Manager.

Being one of the oldest, core and vast field, one can move to almost any technical field. As I always say and believe, Projects depend on Knowledge, Skills, Talent, Team Work and most importantly your understanding of the Project. Always follow these steps, 1. Purpose: You should always understand the purpose of a particular project in terms of it's outcome, utility and impact. 2. Plan: If you are provided a plan by seniors understand it and make yourself at home. If you are asked to create a plan, then make the points mentioned in point 1 (Purpose) as your base and work towards making a real life plan instead of dreaming for miracles. Always consider customer expectations and your capabilities seriously. 3. Team: For a already set team, you should understand everyone in respect to their skills, talents, capabilities and knowledge-experience. But, If you have to make a team, then select people considering these characteristics.
