"View engineering as
a profession that will require constant adapting of skills and
knowledge." |
 
"No matter what problem you can solve, if you can't communicate that
solution, and just as importantly sell it, because a lot of times you're
the only one who realizes how good it is. You can't sell your intellectual
work if you can't sell your solution, it's not going to help anybody."
