Episode 136 — Circle of Competence

Adam, Brian, Carmen, and Jeff consider the boundaries of one’s own competence in this episode of The Engineering Commons. Competencies seem to be driven by past failures, notes Brian. For learning about “magical potions” developed with “unicorn science” (chemical engineering), Brian recommends the NurdRage channel on YouTube. Brian takes a cruel pleasure in seeing Mehdi … Continue reading Episode 136 — Circle of Competence →

Episode 135 — Target Audience

In this episode of The Engineering Commons, the gang discusses tailoring a presentation to meet the needs and interests of your intended audience. Adam’s favorite form of communication is an old-fashioned face-to-face conversation. The data throughput of smoke signals is a bit too slow for Carmen’s needs. Jeff suggests flag semaphore as an alternative means … Continue reading Episode 135 — Target Audience →

Episode 133 — Embarrassed Engineer

This episode finds the gang discussing engineering projects that went awry, but did not result in the loss of human life. While map makers include trap streets to catch copyright violators, Adam reassures us he’s never been asked to physically construct such a street. It seems that mapping software sometimes makes traffic worse. At the … Continue reading Episode 133 — Embarrassed Engineer →

Episode 132 — By Any Other Name

We discuss the case of an Oregon man fined for “practicing engineering without a license” in this episode of The Engineering Commons. Both Jeff and Adam have attended a few plays authored by William Shakespeare. A line from Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is often used to assert that names do not change what something … Continue reading Episode 132 — By Any Other Name →

I’m an Engineering Tech, formerly a Field Service Tech, and a plumber by trade. This podcast is so relatable. New up and coming techs and engineers should be listening to this.
Very honest and interesting

I’m still a mechanical engineering student currently on a co-op in a torque converter manufacturing facility in Ohio. These guys are honest and insightful. Perfect for a long commute to work.
Great exposure for students whose parents weren’t engineers

Theses details you guys talk about are really important. It primes the minds of engineering students to the reality of the engineering workforce, who might not have had the exposure opportunity in the first place. You also suggest ways it could be better, too! (As engineers do.) Thank you!

Only podcast I've found that deals with engineering other than software engineering and development. Great to hear from experienced engineers that toil in the physical world.
