The 100-Year Journey From Surgeons with Reputations to Robots with Precision

Why does this podcast sound like a train name?When you were a kid, it wasn’t electromechanical devices that peaked your interest in engineering, it was boats, planes, cars, trains, or other big interesting things. Those items triggered a passion for engineering that led you to where you are today, but what is going to carry you further than that?Knowledge. Passion. Momentum.&nbsp;Knowledge itself is like a train, with each discovery connected to those before it, the train grows longer.&nbsp;Passion is the fuel of that train. A drive to understand, improve, and consider more than you could even perceive in the past.&nbsp;And finally, as knowledge and passion grow, the weight and speed of that train increases and so does the momentum carrying us into a brighter future.&nbsp;This is not a podcast about trains, but it is a podcast about engineering topics that increase knowledge or passion for engineers in a short and concise format, generally between 30-60 minutes.In every bright future I can envision, engineers play a role to make things better for people, so my hope is this podcast helps makes things better for engineers everywhere.&nbsp;I’m looking forward to sharing with you, so please hop aboard The Engineering Passion Express to begin our journey.
