Navigating Your Engineering Career
The keynote speaker for this year’s end-of-year banquet is Mr. Tom Daniels, an integrated
engineering organization director at Lockheed Martin, where he has managed engineers in all
career phases for nearly four decades.
Mr. Daniels will present his observations and insights on how engineers can best navigate
through the phases of their engineering careers. A mechanical engineering degree opens may
doors to a vast variety of career possibilities. The path to follow is guided by one’s strengths
and interests. Technical, managerial, and academic paths each have their own challenges and
rewards. Continuing education, certifications, and mentorships are all important to getting the
most out of your career. Mr. Daniels will discuss his observations on important steps an
engineer can take to lead to advancement and satisfaction at work. He’ll discuss focus items for
early career engineers to help get them noticed as well as more involved outside the
workplace. He will also provide advice for mid-level engineers looking to distinguish themselves
among their peers. Established engineers will also benefit from his insights on what makes
them most valuable to their organization.
