 2.3 International Accreditation for Engineers

• The Philippine Society of Mining Engineers, Inc. (PSEM) is

an association for Mining Engineers in the Philippines that
Introduction to Engineering

expects to give help to their individuals and to advance the

welfare of the mining engineers and additionally the general
public.
ES 10

• Their main goal is "to give projects and improve chances to

its individuals to work dependably as experts for the
advancement of a suitable minerals industry with regards to
practical improvement”.

• The PSEM caters to a little over 3000 registered mining

engineers as members distributed in its 10 chapters
nationwide. The Philippine Mining Journal is supported by
requesting from neighborhood mining organizations. It
highlights the most recent news in the Philippine Mining
Industry and its positive effect in the monetary
advancement of the nation.
 2.4 Tips to become a Successful Engineer

In a 1999 survey of 450 employers done by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at
Michigan State University, recruiters were asked to provide commentary on any special
Introduction to Engineering

concerns they had about new engineering graduates. One interesting conclusion to the
study found that:
Employers want the total package when they hire their next engineering graduates. Not satisfied with
academically well-prepared graduates, employers want individuals who possess and can demonstrate
ES 10

excellent communication and interpersonal skills, teamwork, leadership, and computer/technical

proficiency.

A willingness to learn quickly and continuously, to problem solve effectively, and to use their common
sense is also desired. New employees must be hard-working, take initiative, and be able to handle multiple
tasks.

In addition, employers are looking for students with new emerging skills and aptitudes such as the ability to
understand e-commerce, computer capabilities that include programming skills, and the ability to adapt to
constant change. In the new global economy,
increasing competition requires a strategy to respond quickly.
 ASSESSMENT

1. Make a list of your own strengths and talents. Write a brief

discussion on how these strengths are well matched with a
specific engineering discipline.

2. Write a short essay describing your dream job, regardless of pay

or geographical location.

3. Write a short essay describing how engineering might fit into your
answer to #2.
