What Skills do Engineers Need for Career Success?

• It doesnt matter what industry you work in
  engineers must require several essential
  engineering skills for career success. Skills
  needed to be an engineer include both hard and
  soft skills.
• Engineering is divided into various branches,
  each with its own set of technical engineering
  skills. The credentials and expectations of these
  diverse engineering disciplines may differ
  dramatically within a given field.
• Social, or soft engineering skills, on the other
  hand, will differ less from one engineering
  industry to the next. These soft skills may not
  appear to be as crucial as the hard engineering
  skills at first glance, but most interviewers
  will pick up on interpersonal issues throughout
  the interview. Furthermore, if skilled engineers
  lack the soft skills outlined below, they may
  find it difficult to advance in their careers.
