Engineers are not like Physicians who set up a medical practice upon graduation from medical school. Your graduation with an electrical engineering degree says that your days of practicing are over. Society and the ECE department expects you to get it right the very first time. Even in the code of Hammurabi 300BC, it states that if an engineer builds a house and that house collapses and causes the death of the owner, that engineer shall be put to death. Now thats a heck of a serious enforcement of professional integrity. https://youtube/watch?v=cIgJYUtqyU8 • One of the most impressive interviews Ive seen recently. Dr C Kumar N Patel definitely deserves a Nobel Prize for his invention of CO2 laser used in cutting, welding, laser surgery and now shooting down flying objects. One of the great things that Bell labs was good at in the 1960s was that they promoted people who were technically sound, not the people who could speak well or present well, but people who had good technical judgement. As a manager we got judged by not what you had done in the past in terms of technology or what you would do in the future, but by the number of people you hired who are smarter than you. Thats a very tall order because its a system that ratchets itself up in quality instead of ratcheting itself down in quality. Im very happy to say that I have the unique distinction at Bell labs of having hired 6 people personally who got Nobel Prize https://youtube/watch?v=7v43P-SY0eU • Unmanned drone to deliver text books in Australia. youtube/watch?v=y9MPQCPbsqE • Rodent resistant chicken feeder. youtube/watch?v=vU0neekA4dE • Mobile Hydro would float on water and generate electricity.
