Quality Control Engineers

Take as many math and science classes as possible and participate in internships and other experiential opportunities to gain experience in the field.

Quality control engineers need scientific and mathematical aptitudes, strong interpersonal skills, and leadership abilities. Good judgment is also needed, as quality control engineers must weigh all the factors influencing quality and determine procedures that incorporate price, performance, and cost factors. Other important traits include organizational skills and a willingness to continue to learn throughout one’s career.
