Henry Petroski

                    

Science is about knowing, engineering is about doing. Let’s start with a serious one. Henry Petroski is a renowned civil engineering professor and failure analysis expert. He’s certainly got a point. Science demands rigour, proof, deep analysis. You could say the same about engineering, but at the end of the day it comes down to doing. You try, sometimes you fail, but you keep on trying. That’s the spirit of engineering and it’s the attitude that catapulted the world into the modern age.
