To be successful, today's engineers need more than technical training. They must have business, leadership, and communication skills. They must develop sustainable solutions and consider the environmental impact of their choices. But while well-rounded engineers are in demand, undergraduate education and employee training programs may not be able to address all of these needs. Professional societies may be able to fill this gap by providing training opportunities to young professionals. That's why TMS is taking a leadership role in a new initiative designed to provide engineers with nontechnical skills to supplement their technological know-how. The new Emerging Leaders Alliance is a joint effort among professional societies in mechanical, civil, chemical, and materials engineering.
