Hi 838amph45,
Someone with an enquiring mind who always wants to know how things work and with a keen interest to design and make things. Someone who is not afraid to fail or try new things and ideas. Someone who has a keen interest in finding the answers to the problems/challenges which we have in society. It also helps if you love Maths as that kind of analytic/systematic approach needed in Maths is also needed in engineering.
I think the best trait an engineering could have is being curious about things and not being afraid of failing. Of course, other skills like being good at maths and understanding programming help a lot as well.
It really depends what type of engineer you want to become as there are so many options. As a Civil Engineer i would the traits i have that help me do my job are –
I am diligent, hard working, hungry for knowledge, committed, i enjoy problem solving and maths, i enjoy traveling, i don’t mind long hours and i like developing people.
