-: So working in the engineering department I would say 99%
of the people have engineering degrees.
I think it's very rare you're gonna find somebody
that didn't have some sort of engineering degree,
so you're gonna need to have an engineering degree,
specifically ones that are more geared
towards the construction industry.
And I say that to say like
chemical and biomedical
we really don't have them.
You're looking for your civil, your mechanical,
your electrical, architecture.
Get experience.
I actually got an internship
through a career fair at NJIT
with Port Authority
prior to going full-time with Port Authority.
So I kinda new what I was,
whether I wanted to do this or not.
And take your FE.
That's something you can take
your junior year of engineering school.
They want you to be licensed
and have your professional engineer's license,
and taking your Fundamentals of Engineering exam
is the first step to getting there.
And do some leadership activities,
maybe like join a
organization where you have a leadership role
because that's what they look for.
It's good that you're all technical and stuff,
but then like what are your soft skills?
So I would say work on your soft skills,
communication, leadership.
That's typically what they want to see.
