Engineers That Lead The Economic Growth

The recent American ASQ (American Society for Quality) survey placed the engineers as the unlikely group to have the chance to be at the board room or to get to the top ladder in an organisation. Less than 9% of the respondents think that engineers will succeed as a chief executive.

Despite the outcome of the survey, the fact reminds that there a a number of engineers make good at the helm of established and successful corporations. The good example of high profiled CEO with engineer degree are Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. The other is Marry Barra, CEO of General Motors.

Looking at the making of USA, great engineers contributed to the growth of the States. We had the famous engineer such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Herbert Hoover. In fact the engineers contributed tremendously to the building of the military power of Germany, USA and Japan.

Based on the experiences of other nations, it is obvious that a developing country like Malaysia will need the contribution of the engineers spearhead the economic growth of the nation.
