Abstract

This chapter offers tips to electrical engineers on how to interact with non-engineering majors, categorizing them into different groups. When it comes to seniors, one should avoid talking bad things about them. One should not resort to lies and deception to get ahead. One might feel benefited in the short run, but in virtually every case it will come back to haunt. Engineers can categorize their bosses into the Dilbert boss, negotiator boss, and yes-man boss. When it comes to dealing with coworkers, fellow peons, and sometimes enemies, engineers can use this level of interaction with their network of peers to create future opportunities. A true political figure at work, the power monger believes it is very important to build power and reputation. What is sad is that he might try to make one look bad to make himself look good. Try not to give him any ammunition that he can use to prove how badly one is doing, thus making him look better.
