Backscatter: Quack, Quack?
“If it walks
like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must
be a duck.” So goes the popular paraphrase
of John Whitcomb Riley's classic quotation.
But what was very
likely true in days of yore
is not necessarily the case in the
oxymoronic world of virtual
reality.
Writing Effective and
Responsible Job Reference

In today’s tightly contested
job market, personal
recommendations can play a
critical role in determining
who gets the job offers.

Why Should
You Become a Licensed
Professional Engineer?
When contemplating
professional licensure, the
central question for many
electrical, computer and
software engineers is:
How will licensure benefit
me?

Satisfaction:
Why do people
give up
engineering?
“Don’t follow in
my footsteps.”
These days,
seemingly every
conversation
about the future
of engineering
includes an
apocryphal story
about an
engineer who
advises his
children to find
another line of
work because
engineering has
no future. Yet
until a recent
set of surveys
and analyses, we
knew little
about who stays
in engineering,
why people leave
the field, and
what happens to
them after they
leave.
