The Engineering Playbook No One Taught You
Engineering education equips you with formulas and technical knowledge, but leaves a critical gap in professional conduct that determines your ultimate success. When W.J. King published "The Unwritten Laws of Engineering" in 1944, he created what Bill Gates would later call "a book I'd recommend to every engineer." This enduring classic reveals a fundamental truth: technical skills may get you hired, but your professional behavior determines how far you'll go. While you're mastering thermodynamics and calculus, no one teaches you how to navigate office politics, manage relationships with supervisors, or lead teams effectively. Yet these unwritten rules make the difference between stagnation and stellar advancement in your engineering career.
