Re: Friday Fun: Engineers

Progression of engineering education: a good planner needs to know at least a little bit about a great variety of topics, and engineers often succeed by specializing, so we planners like to say that over time, planners learn less and less about more and more until eventually they know nothing about everything. Engineers learn more and more about less and less until they eventually know everything about nothing.
As engineers, specifically controls engineers, the landscape is constantly changing. New things are on the market daily. New technologies change the way we do business. The programs look different. The Operator Interfaces look different. The challenge is to continue to provide the excellent engineering function for which we have a reputation. We need to remember that engineers think and are innovative. They are organized and logical. They are indispensable when it is time to make something work and work correctly. We listen; we observe; we make things work. That would be Chris. He may have looked odd to an outsider, but to Huffman Engineering, he was an engineer. He was happy to set his path within the parameters of excellence and innovation.
The Carderock Division consists of approximately 2,000 scientists, engineers and support personnel working in more than 40 disciplines ranging from fundamental science to applied/in-service engineering. They are the Navy's experts for maritime technology.
The World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development was launched by UNESCO at its 40th General Conference in 2019. So if your business employs engineers or if your company is in the engineering field, make sure to celebrate all your talented engineers on March 4th!
Quarter-scale tractors built by the Quarter-Scale Tractor Team will be on display outside Morrill Hall. Inside the museum visitors can see firsthand how engineers begin a concept and use the latest Computer Aided Design technology to design tractors. Children will be able to view various mechanical tractor parts up close.
