How to procure the Manual:
The Manual was considered for marketing with Amazon, Follet, and Barnes and Noble. The general policies of control by these markets caused hesitation on the part of the author! So copies were distributed by the author and friends. We are leaning toward providing free copies at seminars, to individuals. “Quantity orders” (typically 50+) can be arranged directly from our printer.
In the meantime, if you would like to procure the Manual, please email or call the author (click here for contact details).
Due to health issues of the author and his wife, we have not been able to help our USA students as we intended - but effective limited promotion of “Academic Excellence” for our next generation has been extremely gratifying! If you would like to join our efforts to help them achieve excellence and career goals that most only dream about, call us and join us for the sake of our USA while cultivating moral values, spiritual convictions, and personal integrity that will be an Ultimate development of our fellow human beings and their families!

The Manual is a compelling motivational and practical guide filled with powerful advice, tips, and wisdom about how to succeed academically - and professionally, in a career over a lifetime in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics ("STEM") fields - or in ANY other field. The author, Dr. Fred O. Simons, Jr., Phd., Professor Emeritus, is uniquely qualified to advise young people considering a future career, students already in a program of study, AND those in a career who may be considering further study. So if you are exploring career options, considering graduate school, or just how to make better grades and succeed in school at ANY level, this guide will absolutely help and inspire you!
More about the Manual . . .
The Reason for Publishing the Manual
It has been the author’s pleasure to advise, direct, and help thousands of under graduate and graduate students define and set goals that both maximize their contribution to their professional field and at the same time provide the basis for the enjoyment and love of their career pursuits and lifetime achievements. More importantly, the joy of helping students achieve these goals contributed to the development of their character, attitude, integrity, and work ethics required to be happy and successful in the pursuit of their chosen careers. Obviously, the memories of these activities are both mental and spiritual treasures for the author to recall and share with his readers during his retirement years.
The author has always considered that the encouragement and subsequent motivation of his students was a very important component of his collegiate educational duties. This author desired to be remembered for being hard, fair, and caring! Thus, early in the term of every course he taught, the question was posed:
"How many of you students felt that your professor in past classes was interested in your personal career achievements and character development by attempting to motivate and improve your academic performance?"
The average enrollment in these classes was in the order of 40 students because the author’s career was devoted to building new engineering programs where the classes had not had the opportunity to grow to the typical 100+ student enrollments in established programs.
From these 40 or so students, positive responses were typically limited to one or two and hardly ever three or more students! This question is precisely the reason and inspiration for preparing this book in the hopes that it will have a positive effect on existing and prospective students that read it. Furthermore, it is hoped that the parents and other advisors of all kinds (scoutmasters, Sunday School teachers, parents, school teachers, etc.; including professors) will find this book informative and useful in their advisement roles and activities.
