Philosophy

Engineers are the profession that must demonstrate a trend of continual reflection, questioning, and inventiveness. They have a major impact on the pace of technological and social change around the world.

Reflections about what we found are accompanied by thoughts of goals for the future. Our discoveries often have consequences that alter the course of our decisions. It is important to have an open mind even as an expert, while it does not hurt, it only leads us to having richer understanding of subject matter. And as we progress in education there are various ways to keep up with what has been coming out in engineering industry, however, we must always stay critical and ask questions that disrupt the narrative.
