Robert Foster: Get connected with the professional organizations in your field to help build your network. Look for mentors that can help you launch your career. If you want to become a PE or certified technician, be sure to get on with an organization that has PEs and certified technicians already that can mentor you (e.g., NABCEP).
Robert Foster: Fundamental engineering skills are critical. Understand the RE technologies and their capabilities and limitations. Design skills and practical experience are good. Know how to handle drones, google map assessments, etc. Employers value engineers with good English writing skills too.
Robert Foster: Do not worry so much about what your starting salary is when beginning your career. A good salary will come in time and with experience. Focus on working for a reputable organization where you can gain practical experience and knowledge. Renewable energy engineers and technicians are in high demand. Be willing to relocate when starting your career. Choosing a good employer is an important decision and can greatly affect your long term career trajectory. So choose wisely.
Asad Salem Ph.D: In the contemporary engineering sphere, commanding expertise in environmental conservation and global warming mitigation technologies is indispensable. This proficiency spans across clean and low carbon footprint solutions, renewable energy sources, energy storage, new materials, health considerations, water resource management, transportation systems, and innovative manufacturing processes. Simultaneously, a robust mastery of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cybersecurity is gaining importance. Furthermore, a profound comprehension of sustainable practices and collaborative technologies is anticipated to assume an increasingly pivotal role in the continually evolving field of engineering.
