How has the business of aviation changed over that time?
The first is the introduction of computer-aided technology. Engineers no longer need to understand foundational information, such as Newton’s Law. They can rely on computers to do that work and spit out a configuration. I believe this has great potentially negative ramifications for engineers in terms of what they study and how they apply their knowledge.

I am concerned that with the great potential for financial gain in other recent disciplines such as financial investment management, the lure of wealth may play a role in why students may not pursue engineering as a career. I believe to be truly successful in the engineering field and to make a significant impact you have to live and breathe all relevant elements of engineering, and not just be in it for the money. In short, you must have a true passion for making a technical contribution in your chosen field. Then, money will come. Q: As someone who has helped s
