Preparing For the Practice
of Engineering at the
Professional Level
Developing Workplace Competencies
EGN 3000
Why engineering?
Write
down 3-5 reasons why you have
decided to study engineering.
Turn
to the person next to you. Share
your reasons and motivations for
studying engineering with each other!
What is Engineering?
is
Problem-Solving
Engineers are:
Turn to Your Partner
Question: What are three workplace skills or behaviors
you will need to develop to be successful as a
professional engineer?
After you have developed 3 of your own, turn to
your partner and share your list.
When you are done, have your partner share their
list with you.
Be prepared as a team to share items from your
combined list with the class!
USF Competencies
What
you discussed were
“competencies.”
Definition
A competency can best be thought of as a grouping
of similar knowledge, skills, behaviors, and
motivations. These can be thought as “something” a
person must demonstrate to be effective in
performing a given job or role.
USF Competencies
So what competencies do employers of USF
engineering graduates want?
We asked them!
A gathering of over 200 stakeholders told us
stories about the successful practice of
engineering.
With the help of employee development
specialists, we distilled their stories down to 15
USF Competencies.
USF Competencies
Engineering Knowledge
Innovation
Teamwork
General Knowledge
Cultural Adaptability
Integrity
Continuous Learning
Analysis & Judgment
Professional Impact
Quality Orientation
Planning
Customer Focus
Initiative
Communication
Safety Awareness
Each competency has a set of Key Actions
that can be observed and measured.
Competencies in red are a good focus for
your first semester at USF.
USF Competencies
Developing these 15 USF Competencies will
prepare you for the professional practice of
engineering.
Employers know you will be technically
competent with an USF engineering degree.
But, they will want to see demonstrations of the
Competencies.
This will show them that you are prepared to be an
engineer.
This will set you apart from your employment
competitors!

“USF” WE WON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE
USF email and Canvas messages are
SEPARATE —– DIFFERENT
Organize your email if necessary by creating folders
– Events, Advising information, Specific student
organizations, Classes (consider folders for individual
classes, or by semester)
Email Etiquette
Greeting, body, closing
Include name and U# in emails to faculty and
advisors!
Avoid overly casual greetings
NO: Hey
Acceptable: Hello, Hi, Dear ______,
Avoid slang language and abbreviations
No “text speak” like “u” instead of “you”; “thx” instead
of “thanks”

STARs and BBI
Career specialists suggest applicants
answer BBI-type questions using a STAR:
Situation or Task
Action
Result
You should go into interviews with your
“A” game, confident and well-prepared.
STARs help you prepare for BBI
interviewing.
An Example STAR
The Question:
“Tell about a time when you showed initiative.”
Situation or Task
“I was a member of the student organization,
XYZ. We planned to have a float for EXPO. Our
president stopped attending meetings or
communicating with the other officers. Attendance
dropped and nothing happened at meetings. Our
organization had been on campus for a long time
and had a great reputation.”
An Example STAR
Action
“Although I was not an elected leader, I asked two officers to
meet me at the union to talk about the float.“
Result
“At the meeting, I mentioned that XYZ had a great reputation
and my Dad talked about XYZ when he was a student. The
vice president agreed to meet with the president to clarify his
role. We learned the president was having problems and was
relieved that the vice president was willing to assume
leadership. The three of us looked at the requirements in the
by-laws and took the necessary steps to change the
leadership to the vice president. I contacted the members
who stopped attending. We got a late start, but we pulled
together and had the float in the parade.”
Initiative Competency
Definition
Taking prompt action to accomplish objectives;
taking action to achieve goals beyond what is
required; being proactive.
Key Action
Takes independent action
Goes above and beyond.
Responds quickly.
In the
STAR?
?*
* Interviewer may ask a follow-up question.
TTYP – Turn to Your Partner
Question 1: Describe a situation where others you
were working with on a project disagreed with
your ideas. What did you do? (Teamwork)
Question 2: Tell about a time when you had too
many things to do and you were required to
prioritize your tasks. (Planning)
Each of you take a question.
Think about your response – jot down some
notes in the form of a STAR.
Share your STAR with your partner.
Be prepared to share your STARs.
Create a Library of STARs
You should have at least one STAR for
each of the 15 competencies.
Focus on the Key Actions.
This collection of STARs is a useful
library.
It should change over time.
Use it for preparing for interviews.
On Your Own
Create a STAR for three of the seven
“core” competencies:
Engineering Knowledge, General Knowledge,
Analysis and Judgment, Communication,
Continuous Learning, Initiative, and Teamwork.
Focus on the Key Actions.
Use these headings for each STAR:
– Situation/Task
– Action
– Result(s)

To begin my career as a Mechanical Engineer
An entry-level internship to gain experience in
Engineering. My goal is to seek practical experience to
support my education towards a Civil and Environmental
Engineering degree. I am a hard working student who is
willing to go above and beyond what is required of me.
Companies want no more then
one line as the objective
Other things you want to tell them can be left for the
cover letter or the actual interview
Do not use “summary”
statements
1.Companies see that as fluff!
2. And taking up space on the resume that would be
better spent indicating your level work experience
Non-engineering majors may use it. Most likely you will be
told incorrectly how to write your resume in your
Communication for Engineers course or by so called
“professional resume sites”
Keep objective short and succinct!
