The Journey from Engineering Utilitarian Endeavors to Artistic Ones

Send us a text In this episode of The Engineering Passion Express, we take you on a journey from working on projects that have utility, or known value, to the more abstract world of art. This story is told through the lens of Gustave Eiffel, French Engineer and bridge builder! You know his tower, but this story is an imaginative telling of how he went from someone focused on practical structures like railway bridges, to building icons, much of his inspiration stemming from a project h...

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. Knowledge itself is like a train, with each discovery connected to those before it, the train grows longer. Passion is the fuel of that train. A drive to understand, improve, and consider more than you could even perceive in the past. 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. 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. I’m looking forward to sharing with you, so please hop aboard The Engineering Passion Express to begin our journey.
