The Courses

There’s one thing my decades of experience as a working engineer has taught me: that there’s no easy way to ensure that your career will gain the momentum that you hoped it would. Especially not while back in university, still dreaming.

I’ve lived multiple roles and a couple of industries, and been laid off a few times (longest stent was 23 months). I’ve undergone many resume changes, and hundreds of applications. I’ve gotten jobs through different means, and worked onsite and fully remote. I’ve been promoted by advocating for myself and even “voluntold” into a role without even being asked for my opinion. 

The biggest realization was that you cannot rely on others to achieve the Engineering career of your dreams. If you want to go into an engineering career with your eyes open, or if your career feels like its driving you rather than the other way round, you have to intentionally design your career yourself. 

You have to become your own career champion – Your own Career Engineer.

To do this you have to be informed and have a plan. And this has become my mission. Whether you’re an aspiring engineer or are a more seasoned one, these courses are my way to help others also realize their engineering career goals. I built these courses from many years of trial and error, hours and hours of offline and online research, and many coffee-filled afternoons spent drilling my fellow, more experienced co-workers and contacts.

Failing to plan = Planning to fail. These courses are the tools, strategies, and even hacks that encapsulate decades of experience from myself and others to help you engineer your career. 

Most of us engineers like to cut straight to the good stuff. As such, each course page provides the guidelines to help you select the one that’s right for you so that you too can obtain the critical success factors for your engineering career.

Additional Services

We engineers like our independence, right? So I designed these “DIY” courses to pass on the knowledge in order for you to adjust your trajectory in the most efficient and effective manner possible towards the career goal that is fulfilling, satisfying, and makes you happy. And, as I say in class, because “the more we enjoy our work, the less it feels like work!”

For some, these courses are enough.

For others, additional or more customized methods, accountability, support, etc. are in order…and where our one-on-one sessions become invaluable.

What People Are Saying...

The course “Choosing Engineering” by Career Engineer contained insightful and timely information for people looking into engineering as a profession.

I wish I had this course when I was first starting out! The instructor clearly explained what to look for and what to think about when deciding on a career in engineering and gave actionable advice for young people in school.
