Emmanuel’s Answer

Thank you for your interest in knowing what your best attitude should be as an engineer...

I will be more generic in my response as this cuts across several professions...

As a Fellow of Young African Leaders Initiative, I have come to appreciate the strategic impact ethics play in leadership, community engagement, team building / bonding, collaboration, interpersonal relations and management... Ethics galvanise hierarchical tendencies that more often than not plays out in corporate setting... This benchmarks Courtesy and Initiative thus giving credence to Inclusiveness and Accountability.

Specifically, professionals in the engineering space are inclined to trials, simulations, data, etc, which hinges on creativity via logical reasoning and mathematical expressions... Safety, Time management and Respect as well as acknowledging varying ideas are key positive attitude in this regard.

However, attitude is pertinent to humans thus the need to validate human tendencies and approach in our dealings.

Emmanuel recommends the following next steps:

Human behavioral pattern
Human centered design

Leo’s Answer

As an engineer the attitudes I would want to portray;

1) Constant hunger and passion for learning. As an engineer, you constantly want to grow and improve on yourself.

2) Humility. No matter how good an engineer you are, or how smart, humility makes you more respected and approachable.

3) Sharing attitude, when you start off, you obviously want to learn as much as you can. however once you start getting comfortable in the role, start sharing your knowledge. You'll find you will learn a lot more when you teach someone.

4) Challenge yourself, this is almost a sub point of point 1, if you are too comfortable in the role, you will stop growing as an engineer.

many more points, but these are my top 4
