3 resources that are crucial for new engineers

Being new to the engineering industry, whether you’re a recent college graduate or had a career change, is difficult at first. You may feel like there’s so much to learn in a small amount of time due to new developments in technology and economic shift.

However, there are plenty of resources to help you become more educated and established in the industry. Whether you’re studying for your next project or looking for the latest networking events, you’re in the right place. We recommend the following resources if you’re new here.

ENR

Engineering News-Record, or ENR, provides engineers and construction workers with the latest news, analysis and data that impact the industry. It’s also a go-to resource for exceptional thought leadership pieces and even has a section dedicated to just ENR in the Mountain States.

ENR was a huge resource to engineers who were struggling to get back on their feet due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also helped us digest the growing rate of inflation and new infrastructure coming into the U.S. Give it a read and let us know what you think.

Engineering.com

Engineering.com is one of the largest resources for engineers looking for content around career opportunities, general interests, fun facts, and engineering updates. The site delves into topics around aerospace, healthcare, the environment, and everything in between. The site also offers an online community focused on job hunting, learning new tips or even playing STEM games.

We highly recommend you take some time to browse around this site. Read a few articles and let us know what you like and didn’t. Remember, before you get started on your reading, you’re given the option to personalize your homepage featured section by checking the three subcategories you’re most interested in!
