Engineering pervades everything… It’s how to take very complex systems and break them down into nice, tight, abstract parts. —Eric Grimson, Bernard Gordon Professor of Medical Engineering, Chancellor, M.I.T.

Whether applied to aeronautics, electricity or urban planning, “engineering” is simply defined as a branch of science and technology that is applied to design and building through the use engines, machines &/or structures.

On this website we have interviews with 3 engineers: A Project Manager & Business Developer of Electrical Power Plants, a Designer & Developer of Electrical & Petroleum Control Systems and a Senior Mechanical Designer who worked for a company that designs & builds highly specialized buildings for medical research and technology development. Each of these professionals has opened up about their education, work experience and the changes they are seeing in their industry. In addition, they share with us the advice they would give to young people who want to become an engineer or work in the power industry.

"For centuries the Phoenicians alone possessed the secret of the manufacture of purple. ... The Roman emperors transferred the manufacture of purple to Italy and conducted it as a monopoly. The art of purple dying, which, like many of the arts, had reached a high level at this time, was lost almost completely in the stormy period which marked the migration of nations. For a short time the art was still preserved in the Byzantine Empire, only to become extinct there in the 12th Century."
