  • Excellent accounts of engineers

    I was looking for a interview of Jon Hirsctick for an article and stumbled on a treasure trove of engineering stories. Never have I seen such a collection of engineers telling their experiences! It reminds me of “Working,” by Studs Terkel, a haunting book about all sorts of jobs. But Aaron Moncur’s “Being an Engineer” is all about engineers, their jobs and their advice for other engineers — and frankly, I’d rather listen to a podcast than read a book.

  • For the love of Aaron and Raf

    I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple years now- every episode. It’s what got me to leave my dead end labor job and go back to school and finish out my ME degree; for my daughter’s future, and mine! I have always gotten that feeling of inadequacy that Raf has mentioned, and that’s part of what drove me away in the first place, but let me tell you something: we are as good as we make ourselves! After being out of school for three years and returning as a first semester senior, I finish... more

  • Raf and Aaron are Amazing Hosts

    Raf and Aaron’s contrasting interviewing styles are perfect for the podcast and bring variety to the listeners. I like how they take turns interviewing guests. Aaron should coin the term “kindergarten skills.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7E10 Daniel Gledhill | How to Win at People-Centered Leadership in Engineering Teams
Q: What is a concrete example of accelerating engineering speed by removing obstacles?
Replacing administrative tasks with a dedicated project administrator allowed engineers to focus on engineering work, significantly increasing productivity and job satisfaction.
S7E10 Daniel Gledhill | How to Win at People-Centered Leadership in Engineering Teams
Q: How do you coach engineers to avoid analysis paralysis and maintain creativity in a regulated environment?
Encourage a question-based approach, discuss potential impacts, and involve R&D, process design, and regulatory teams early to validate changes without stifling creativity. This nurtures ownership and reduces fear-based paralysis.
S7E10 Daniel Gledhill | How to Win at People-Centered Leadership in Engineering Teams
Q: What does a successful transition look like from individual contributor to leader?
A successful transition involves removing boundaries to leadership, creating opportunities for informal leadership, and facilitating projects and mentorship rather than always directly solving problems. The aim is to empower engineers to think, lead, and deliver with guidance.
S7E8 Matt Ketterer | Professional Growth through Interdisciplinary Exploration
Q: Do you have any advice that engineers can use to make a smooth transition from one discipline to another?
He advises engineers to take initiative to learn independently, show their interest in new areas, and start with small responsibilities in those fields.
S7E8 Matt Ketterer | Professional Growth through Interdisciplinary Exploration
Q: Can you think of any stories that you can share where you really did have to use engineering?
Ketterer provides an example involving a custom equipment project where precise mathematical calculations were necessary for the machinery design.
