For an engineer, the ability to make smart choices is a fundamental professional and personal skill. Making smart choices is a skill worth honing. Treating decision-making like any other skill is a key to making smart choices a habit. Each of the elements of decision making must be understood to be able to take into account their relevance to each decision and systematically apply available data, common sense, and professional judgment.
