Learning is not something you just do in school, or leave to your children’s teachers. The best and most lasting learning moments often come from parents. So, why not take an active interest in helping your children solve problems? Challenge your children with fun and practical, real-world problems they will probably encounter in their adult lives. Such exercises are likely to: decrease the fear of problem-solving; put them in your shoes; demonstrate to them how adults solve problems; promote familiarity with problem-solving; build confidence and self-esteem; illustrate how math is, and will be, used every day in their adult lives; help organize their logical thinking skills.

Through 15 February, IEEE members can download a free copy of this eBook by adding it to your cart and using promo codeJANFREE18 at checkout. Project management skills are highly prized in any organization. Engineers who can develop new plans for critical corporation products, services, internal process improvements and special needs technologies; and then coalesce, manage and lead others to make these things happen, are never going to fear unemployment. And they are going to have a great time working on interesting, innovative, and sometimes groundbreaking, projects. Project management is probably the most important function young engineers can learn, along with an ability to articulate the value of what they, and their teams, are doing.

Author Amy K. Jones offers interesting anecdotes regarding her personal experiences as a woman in engineering. Some are stories of what she did well; others, she hopes, will demonstrate where she failed, and perhaps inspire others to act differently. Despite all the cringe-worthy moments, Jones believes her failures are the most vital to include. Successes feel intimidating, she writes, and it?s hard to accurately express how much hard work and luck go into them. In contrast, failure is a pathway to learning. Jones hopes her e-book inspires you to perform a bit of self-reflection; makes you laugh; and gives you a little of that special feeling one experiences when enjoying a glass of red wine--with a friend who really gets you.
