Developing Career Goals for Technical Professionals
Career goals are the foundation for your engineering career development. Regardless of your age or experience level, it is imperative that you have clear career goals. Career goals are an absolute must because they act as a destination for your career. Think of this analogy: you get into your car to drive somewhere that you have never been before; what piece of information do you need to get there? Yes - an address! A goal is an address for your career path. Without this address, every time you approach an intersection (or decision in your career) you'll never be sure which way to turn. During this course, you will be taken through a simple goal setting process not only to set your goals but also to get to the true meaning of why certain goals are important to you. You'll see that once you have set goals that you are truly aligned with, everything in your engineering career and life will seem more purposeful.
What you will learn:
- Examine a simple goal setting process
- Consider why certain goals are important

Anthony Fasano
Anthony Fasano received B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering from Lafayette College and Columbia University. After becoming a partner at an engineering firm at the age of 27, he realized that his success was related largely to the development of his non-technical skills. Mr. Fasano decided to transition his career from designing to inspiring engineers to develop the nontechnical skills crucial to career success. Anthony has written a bestselling book entitled Engineer Your Own Success: 7 Key Elements to Creating an Extraordinary Engineering Career.
