Introducing the characteristics of people who are suitable for engineers that Sun-El engineers emphasize

Kanno

Hello, this is Sugano, General Manager of the System Development Department.

I am usually in charge of management of the development department and practical development work.

A request from the editorial department of MieL, "Mr. Sugano, please write an article about engineers. I'll prepare a subject, so if you write a manuscript, I'll write an article."

When I looked at the list of subjects, I thought, "Well, I think it's great that I'm saying all of them." did.

That's why I chose this topic for the first time.

"Person who is suitable for an engineer that Sun-El Engineer thinks"

in sanelWorking as an engineer, what I think is "a person suitable for an engineer"I'll tell you what kind of person you are.

Appropriateness as an engineer emphasized by Sun-El Engineers

At San-El, there are many opportunities for interviews, work experience, and accepting interns.

often at that time"Are you suited to be an engineer?"or in an interview"What do you focus on?"I'm asked.

I think that the criteria for judging whether or not an engineer is suitable varies from person to person, but the following two points are important to me.

often"Do you have the ability to think logically?"And"Do you have math skills?"It is said, but I think this is secondary.

People who do things because they "like" are strong

I like sports, so there are many athletes who I respect, and one of them is Ichiro.

he"You can't beat someone who likes and does it when you think effort is effort"As I said, this is my favorite word.

Ultimately, you're at your best when you're doing what you love.

This can be said for non-engineers, but IDoing something you don't enjoy is very inefficientI think.

Of course, it's work, so you can't always do what you like.It's tough if you don't have the feeling of "I love you after all" at the bottom of itI think.

What kind of person likes making things?

I don't think I can tell whether I like making things or not.

I"Whether or not you feel good about making something with your hands and making it work"I think so.

People who like to build things like plastic models and radio-controlled models are people who like making things and can focus on them.

I think it's good for nails, accessories, cooking, etc.

I'm also a person who likes simulation games. I think that people who like Nobunaga's Ambition or Koei's games are highly likely to be engineers.

Many people who like manufacturing can think logically

Many people who like making things can think logicallyI have an impression.

Because you can't enjoy manufacturing without it.

In the case of Nobunaga's ambition, which I gave as an example earlier, if everything is done properly, the country will not become rich, and the neighboring country will invade and the game will be over.

In addition to increasing military power, it is necessary to consider various factors such as diplomacy and domestic affairs, determine priorities, and reassemble strategies according to the movements of neighboring countries.

Isn't it important for engineers to think that this kind of thing is fun?

So when I interview, I always ask about their hobbies and favorite games.

People who are good at cooking also have high work skills

Cooking is a high point in the interview.

II believe that cooking is packed with all the necessary elements to advance your work.The following is a list of the most common problems with the

When cooking, you have to think about the menu based on various factors such as the number of people who will be eating and their preferences, and you have to think about the order of cooking and the arrangements.

that's why,I haven't seen many people who are good at cooking and can't workIt is.

If someone says "I like cooking" in an interview, I ask, "If you (the interviewer) were to cook for us, what would you make?"

Then, when someone suddenly comes up with a menu, I ask them, "Why did you do that?"

Unfortunately, such people may not be suitable for providing goods and services.

On the other hand, the person who asks me to know my preference first gives 100 points.

This is not limited to engineers, but I think that such people have the ability to advance their work, or rather have a high sense of taste.

Strong intellectual curiosity is also important

This is not limited to engineers either, but especially in the case of engineers,We have to face the ever-evolving technology.

Therefore, unless you have a strong intellectual curiosity, you cannot work.I think.

for example,Engineers are best suited for people who immediately look up when they wonder, "What is this?"It is.

Conversely, I don't think people who say, "I don't know, but I'm not interested, so I don't need to know about it," are not suited to be engineers.

Kanno

People who don't like not knowing what they don't know are very suitable for engineers.

Literature and science are irrelevant

Also, I am sometimes asked“I am a liberal arts student, but can I become an engineer?”This is the question.

There is an image that an engineer must be a science student, but I don't think so at all.

I think language skills are more important than math skills.The following is a list of the most common problems with the

Kanno

Because it's a programming language.

People who have never programmed may not understand, but after all, programming ishow to read and writebecomes quite important.

Mathematics is done by computers, so mathematics is not so necessary unless it is in the field of data science or research field.

If you have knowledge of the arithmetic level, it will pass sufficiently up to a certain level.

To avoid misunderstandings, I am just arguing against the trend that "engineers must be science-minded", and I am not saying that mathematics is unnecessary.

Regardless of whether you are an engineer or not, if you do not know the minimum mathematics, it will hinder your work.The following is a list of the most common problems with the

Especially in jobs that are said to be white-collar, there will always be situations where not knowing mathematics will put you at a disadvantage.

Summary｜Characteristics of people who are suitable for engineers

To summarize the positives and negatives of engineers,

I guess

However, after all, I think that it is all about whether you can enjoy doing it.

next time"For those who want to become an engineer"Since there is a subject, I will write it as a continuation of this story.
