Personal Growth and
Development
“The Common Denominator of Success” – Albert E.N. Gray
Successful [people] are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. [They] have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing things they don’t like to do in order to accomplish the purpose they want to accomplish.
Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of NeedsSelf-
Actualization – “Do your best”
Esteem Needs – self respect, reputation
Social Needs – friends, family, support from others
Safety Needs – security, freedom from fear, order
Physiological Needs – food, water, air, shelter
“Needs” and “Wants”
Needs are things that you must have, things that are essential.
Wants are things that you desire.
Do you really need it? Or just want it?
With whom would you like to be acquainted?
Person A has a low self-esteem
Person A Person B
Blindness to reality Realism
Fear of the new and unfamiliar
Willingness to admit mistakes
Hostility towards other Cooperativeness
Overcontrolling behavior Benevolence
Your college years provide a unique opportunity for you to enhance your self-esteem by building both your self-efficacy and your self respect!
I have low self-esteem
Is it because you suck?
Your Engineering Education Will Enhance Your Self-Esteem
Building self-efficacy:– Develop problem-solving skills– Technical knowledge– Work with other in teams/groups
Building self-worth– Academic success will bring positive feedback from
professors and fellow students (self-respect)– Scholarships, internships, officer in student
organization, design competition,…

Assist you in appreciating your own uniqueness
Assist you in appreciating the uniqueness of others
Employers Want More
National survey of over 1,000 engineering employers revealed that industry’s #1 concern was:
To give engineering students more instruction in written and oral communication.
Oral Communication Demands of an Engineer
Oral progress reports Formal presentations Project and committee meetings Team collaborations Short courses and training seminars Guest lectures at engineering schools or
professional society conferences Oral evaluations of subordinates
Writing Demands of an Engineer
Letters, memoranda, and e-mail correspondence Design specifications Requests for proposals (RFPs) Proposals submitted in response to RFPs Contracts, patents, and other government documents Written progress reports Technical reports Publications in professional engineering journals Written performance evaluations of subordinates
Developing Your Communication Skills
Importance of communications skills in engineering
Employers want more Developing a positive attitude Developing a plan to improve
your communication skills
Develop a Plan to Improve Your Communication Skills
Take courses in oral and written communications (COMM A111, 235, 237, 214; ENGL A111, 211, 212, 213, 214, 311, 312, 414)
Look for opportunities to write (keep a journal, write a poem or short story, send e-mails)
Read – anything and everything (newspaper, magazines, technical journals, novels)
Look for opportunities to speak (student organizations, high school class, regular class)
Tips for Good Health
Eat nutritionally
Engage in regular aerobic exercise
Get adequate sleep
Avoid drugs
Remember the 3 steps: Knowledge, Commitment, Implementation
Strike a balance between immediate and future gratification Too much immediate gratification – Don’t get
work done; feel guilty Too much delayed gratification – feelings of
deprivation and resentment can sabotage your commitment
Find a proper balance between work and play which works for you!
