A very intelligent engineering professor waxes philosophical about the practice of engineering and, more specifically, the education of engineering students.

I made it halfway. I got the gist. Not worth my time continuing.

man oh man. hardy was a boss thru and thru. interesting read coming from a trained engineer. however it was not well known that he got his first bachelors degree in english so this may explain why the book is such a good read.
