What are some tips to run effective engineering meetings

    Keep the discussion to items the affect the entire team/multiple disciplines. Anything super specific to a single discipline can be set aside for a side bar discussion.

    I'd make sure to have some sort of agenda that you can pass out to people so that they can see what's going to be discussed in the meeting and think about any questions or comments that they may have. On top of that I'd always make sure that people are comfortable talking in meetings and creating a collaborative environment.

    I think you should have an agenda that is sent out pre meeting and whatever relevant information as well so stakeholders can prepare for your meeting and allow the meeting to be of value rather than it be the first time they see it.

    I share my screen with the meeting agenda on it, and try to keep the yapping to a minimum.

What’s the biggest productivity killer in your typical workday? For me, it’s usually constant context switching between unrelated tasks. It feels like losing momentum over and over again. What’s the biggest distraction where you work?

I'm a junior engineer, but I inherited a project mid-construction because the designer left. I wasn't around for the early phases, but now I’m running the site meetings. I'm stressed about the technical gap and being asked questions I don't know the answers to. I don't want to appear clueless in front of the clients, even though I am. Is it okay to say that I don't know, but I will get back to them? Or does that look unprofessional?

I've been stuck in a pure maintenance cycle for six months, and I'm starting to feel like a script-runner instead of an engineer. I'm trying to move into a senior-level job, and I worry about stagnating, but I'm not sure what to do. Is this a common issue with engineers who hope to level up?

I’ve been working in construction since I graduated 5 years ago. I’ve gradually realized I don't want to do this for the next 3 decades, but I feel stuck. Is it too late to switch engineering disciplines without destroying my career progression?
