"If you are like me, you will find these brief essays on engineering insightful, sometimes inspirational, occasionally “curmudgeon-y,” but always interesting. If you are an engineer, the articles will help you understand the what and, more importantly, the why of your career. If you are not an engineer, the articles just might make you wish you were.
