Quotation
"All of the world's societies as we know them today
are dependent on the technology developed by the
scientists and engineers of yesterday. The best, and the
no-so-good examples of our creativeness, are visible
in every corner of the globe. The engineers and
scientists of tomorrow need to be better than us, or we
will continue to experience the detrimnetal effects of
progress. Each engineer has the obligation to help
educate our young, encouraging them to challenge our
methods, and improve upon our results."
