Engineering School did not Teach me Engineering

I graduated as an Electronic Engineer from the U of Illinois, in 1959. And I worked as an Engineer for 20 years - or at least that was my job title. In reality, I did little engineering work, and was not expected to.

The world I was part of, was not working, and could be made to work. And engineering, in general, is the process of making the world work.

This has changed, as Software became important. Software does work, and is working better all the time. And not only that - Software companies, such as Google, want to make their people work better also.
