Amazing, I hadn’t heard of Atlas Shrugged, but it sounds really interesting; I’ll add that to me reading list!

Thanks- Looks like I’ll have to do a Part 2 of this one.

Don’t forget Hank Reardon in Atlas Shrugged. Among his other achievements, he designed the signature bridge on the John Galt rail line.

I’ve always thought you could make an interesting show about a forensic engineer, and call it “Quincy, P.E.”

I just gave away my age, didn’t I?

problem with civil engineers: You only think of them if something goes wrong.

John Chard, another military engineer, ended up in command at Rorke’s Drift and is thus one of the main characters of the film Zulu.
