What Real Engineering Training Looks Like

Most new engineers think great controls engineers are born with talent. They’re not. They’re built through repetition, pressure, correction, and something most people hate — red lines. In this video, Paul Godines shares a real story from his early engineering career about getting his electrical drawings marked up, corrected, and challenged over and over again. What felt frustrating at the time became one of the most valuable lessons of his career. You’ll learn: • What “red lines” actually are in controls engineering • Why corrections are part of becoming a high level engineer • The mindset shift that separates professionals from amateurs • How repetition builds confidence and speed • Why criticism in engineering is often mentorship in disguise • The hidden process behind becoming tested, trusted, and trained This video is for controls engineers, PLC programmers, automation techs, students, and anyone trying to improve their engineering skills in the real world.
