Should the Institute support its members more broadly with their whole lives, rather than simply with the work element?


Has there been any research done into how well engineers are able to relate to their children?


The very things that make people succesful in the engineering world can also make it hard for them to interact socially.


As a daughter of a very succesful engineer myself, I feel he is a man who was good at his work life but terrible in home life. Perhaps I am biased, but I seem to meet other daughters of engineers who feel their fathers have missed out on an emotional part of their lives through not being very good socially, or lacking in soft skills.


I am starting to look to see what research has been done in this area. I am interested to hear people's views


Thanks
