I was looking for a interview of Jon Hirsctick for an article and stumbled on a treasure trove of engineering stories. Never have I seen such a collection of engineers telling their experiences! It reminds me of “Working,” by Studs Terkel, a haunting book about all sorts of jobs. But Aaron Moncur’s “Being an Engineer” is all about engineers, their jobs and their advice for other engineers — and frankly, I’d rather listen to a podcast than read a book.

I’ve been listening to your podcast for a couple years now- every episode. It’s what got me to leave my dead end labor job and go back to school and finish out my ME degree; for my daughter’s future, and mine! I have always gotten that feeling of inadequacy that Raf has mentioned, and that’s part of what drove me away in the first place, but let me tell you something: we are as good as we make ourselves! After being out of school for three years and returning as a first semester senior, I finished out the first semester back on dean’s list.. for the first time ever! Anyway, just wanted to chime in and thank you for your wonderful podcast keeping me on beat with my aspirations!

Raf and Aaron’s contrasting interviewing styles are perfect for the podcast and bring variety to the listeners. I like how they take turns interviewing guests. Aaron should coin the term “kindergarten skills.”

I am a young engineer working in design manufacturing and have found this podcast to be a great resource. The hosts, Aaron and Rafael, ask very good questions tailored to their guests’ experiences. For many episodes I have taken notes and applied some of the talking points to my own life and career. This is the most pertinent engineering podcast that I have found and would highly recommend it for any engineer who wants to improve themselves.

who wants some ideas on what to do when you graduate, this is an useful podcast to check out. There are a lot of jobs that aren’t well known. This podcast can be used as a resource to find out more about such jobs.

Top notch guests, humble and informed hosts, great mix if technical talk and life skills. Can’t wait to hear more.

Amazing podcast with many great insights from other Engineers. I listen to this podcast almost daily to and from work. This podcast gives me a fresh outlook into the Industry and motivates me to be a better Engineer everyday!

I was looking to learn more about engineering and found so much more! This podcast is great for engineers, aspiring engineers, product developers, project managers, professionals looking to advance or find joy in their work, and people who just want to know more about how things work! Aaron and Raf continue to host (and ask great questions of) engaging and inspirational guests.

As an engineering student, I have learned so much from the Being an Engineer podcast. The episodes are well structured and enjoyable. In addition, the podcast excels at hosting a variety of guests from different backgrounds and technical areas. As a student, it has opened my idea of what opportunities are available. As the introduction states, the podcast is a repository for knowledge. Again, the producer is incredible at hosting interesting and insightful industry professionals. These individuals are experienced and willing to share their knowledge. Truly, this podcast is a must listen too. In fact, some of the insight I’ve learned from the podcast has helped me advance in my professional career.

I am an engineering student. This podcast has given me a plethora of resources, connections, and knowledge as I continue my journey to becoming an engineer. Thank you!

Aaron and teh Being an Engineer team do a great job of bringing in relevant conversations for engineers at any stage of their careers. A great listen!

I was one of the guests of the show. I loved Aaron’s balance of in-depth questions and genuine curiosity about the future. The world needs more quality podcasts like this!

Excellent topics. My favorite was the interview with Aaron Moncur. He gave particular insights on how to manage engineers. This podcast is a must listen for any engineer trying to better themselves. Highly recommend

I haven’t come across any other podcast that dives into the topics discussed in this podcast.

Fantastic approach to an engineering podcast, if you are looking for great information about the engineering industry, check this podcast out.

I find this team very knowledgeable and practical in their advice for engineers. I love the breadth of experience they draw from to illustrate principles.

A must.

Being An Engineer podcast is so great! The conversations are down and nerdy and remind me how much fun it is to be an engineer!
