Hints on how (Proper) Engineers Think

Several years ago our grandson was in his first year of an Engineering Degree.

Whilst visiting him at home over Christmas we puzzled on what we could buy as a small gift to point him in the right direction with his career.

We choose a t-shirt with this advice on it.

I haven't got one, but this may be more suitable for me

Has anyone any Hints or Tips that they found Useful in their Engineering Activities? FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Similar sentiment as that offered by an old football coach to the defence, if it moves kick it, if it doesn't move then kick it until it does.

The third rule of engineering after duct tape and WD 40 is, if it doesn't fit use a bigger hammer.

Real engineers rarely take the bother of looking for a hammer, they use an adjustable spanner for almost everything, including tapping things into position. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

not my words, but oh so true

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

And yes programmers are engineers - sort of Whistle Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
