The engineering mind
"He went about the task like the engineer he has always been, measuring
twice and cutting once." My father, an organ builder, taught me that
practice and as a retired engineer I still use that technique. As a
mechanical and electrical engineer I often worked with civil engineers and
found much in common in our logical approach to problems.
In the UK as in USA the engineering professions are neglected. Our
Government has decided that they do not need an Engineering Adviser
since they have a Scientific Adviser who it is alleged can cover engineering
though as an academician he has never done any engineering.
