Editor's Notes
- #4 You don’t have to be a genius to be an engineer, but people who become engineers like math, science, and problem solving.
- #5 In general this is a flow chart of the steps engineers follow in solving problems. First, you identify and define your problem Second, you analyze the problem Third you design and propose solutions Forth you refine your proposal 5) And after going through this process you have hopefully found a solution to your initial problem.
- #8 Types of engineers include: Civil (bridges, buildings, airports) Environmental Chemical Electrical (design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment) Industrial (Robots, conveyors, facility planning) Mechanical (designing and producing products cars ect.)

- #21 On a typical day, I spend the majority of my time working with computer aided design (Autocad and Microstation) I also spend time traing younger employees, attending team meetings, and sometimes public meetings. The next few slides are from some of the many projects that I have been involved with since working with Presnell.
