  • Jeremy Wang is a fourth-year engineering student at the University of Toronto and the Chief Technology Officer for the drone startup Sky Guys. His talk provides a refreshing take on resolving the common workplace clash between businesspeople and engineers, and ultimately, how humility is the secret for individuals and teams to become better all-around. Jeremy Wang is the Chief Technology Officer and R&D Founder of The Sky Guys, a leading Canadian drone operator and manufacturer for safety-critical industrial and government applications. Jeremy’s foray into aerospace engineering began in high school as a research assistant on computer vision collision avoidance. He has since spent the past five years in technical and leadership roles in design teams, universities, and accelerators, serving more than 10 drone, rocket, and satellite projects and helping raise upwards of $40M in funding along the way. In 2016, Jeremy was selected as one of Canada’s Next 36 highest potential young entrepreneurs, and in 2018, he was named one of Tomorrow’s Aerospace Engineering Leaders by Aviation Week and the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    As an engineer, I always think my job would have been less stressful if instead of debugging code and making changes, I just worked on Excel. I work well with Excel, but really no business domain actually interests me.
    Also, observed business guys to be full of emotions while I just know how difficult it will be for me when they excitedly announce 'new changes'.

    'Building relationships' just feels like something done for profit.
    True relationships are not built, but automatically developed through trust.
    But I get it. Impressing clients is how you make money and that is the prime objective of business.

    I don't know if I fully agree, but I know what's helped me start a business. I think the best thing I did to help me was get over my "ego" and start solving problems that really helped others. From there I was able to create a prototype, and get results which I shared to find new clients. The last thing was to use my job to finance my business. Too often, as engineers, we think we need investors to start building something, but fail to realize we should be our first business investor. So, I have clients, but I also pay myself. It's made all the difference in my business journey. Lastly, I learned it to always give back. When I first started there was nothing online that really helped me get started. I don't want anyone to struggle as I did 10 year ago, so I created a channel about my entrepreneurial journey as an engineer. :)

    How to deal with your problematic partner? Simple: Hear and try to understand what they are saying.
    You a businessman trying to pass an project or a product for the engineer to design. Try to understand them, if they start to become frustrated ask for an explanation "for dummies" level so you can understand.
    You a engineer trying to understand what the businessman idea is? Hear them and try to clarify any misconceptions they may be using.
