I might venture to say that as engineers our education in the field of geometry is much the same as any other students' - starting with elementary shapes and ending with trigonometry. Should we be attributing more of our systems and structures understanding to geometry? How do we formally expand its ...

Remove the term internship. Offer the opportunity as a part-time job. I was in AutoCAD class as a high school junior, when a classmate offered me the opportunity to interview as a miscellaneous steel detailer. That summer I worked full time during the week and as a beach parking lot attendant on ...

I am a big fan of Kayak for creating my itinerary. I also use Google Earth to scope out where I am going... the number one question is typically, where can I park? I like TripAdvisor, as well. I even plan day trips, so that I can find tiny beaches along Cape Cod and know what facilities are available, ...

Let's work backwards from the end product. What is the value of a house? The hours of the carpenter and the materials? In time, these values diminish greatly when compared with location and condition. Now is the carpenter driving back and forth to the hardware store 3 times because he forgot one more ...

I had lunch with an architect a couple weeks ago. It was a great experience to learn about his practice and how he approached problems. The problems were a bit different than engineering problems, but in the end the aim was the same to best serve the client. I also recall going to the dentist as a kid ...

In a post pandemic world, there is no wrong or right way to shake hands. When in doubt, ask: hug, handshake, high five, fist bump, elbow bump, wave, nod, or smile. I think the addition of the fist bump in the professional settling is a welcomed addition. Your handshake can say a lot about your confidence, ...

Engine is the root word. As in military engine or siege weapon, like a catapult. Civil engineering followed with non-military applications. As the steam age came to be, engineer was a very appropriate title to those on locomotives and ships. Not only did they pilot the locomotives and ships, but they ...

As engineers we are charged with solving complex problems. Such problems require deep thought. The thoughts could be worked out on scrap paper or draft work, but often remain in the mind's eye. We often feel that if we are not producing calculations or drawings, we are not working... but our thoughts ...

Happy National Lego Day! For the past 2 birthdays, I have given my daughter Lego sets! Last year, she required a lot of help building the set and proceeded to tear it apart and rebuild it her way!

Ah yes, the WindowsPhone was wonderful! The Live Tiles were ingenious! Lack of apps indeed hung it out to dry. I am looking forward to what Windows 11 has to offer. Growing up with PCs, I never felt comfortable using a Mac. Macs are too restrictive in their software requirements and interface. Windows ...

Many engineers refrain from comments online for legal reasons. Anything posted publicly can be used for discovery. Private community forums, emails, and text messages can be used as evidence, as well. Many times, lawyers will immediately seek out facebook and linkedin profiles of a person involved with ...

Thank you for posting the photo. This spired building on Vine Street was one of my projects! I don't think I have ever experienced "remnants" as strong as Ida. Going to check things out can be dangerous! With that in mind, I think flooding presents a unique perspective regarding disasters. In Rhode ...

Big fan of classic MacGyver and no mention of him would be complete without the A-Team who built at an even bigger scale! I love it when a plan comes together!
