I was reading a recent ASME SmartBrief that quotes Albert Schweitzer, famous for his humanitarian work in Africa, saying “A good example has twice the value of good advice.” As we know, advice is free, however setting a good example takes tireless work, the proper knowledge, and precise skills to perform that work with great pride. Engineers, especially those who aspire to becoming professional engineers, must possess all these qualities. It is the trademark of our profession that our members maintain an unquestionable character and a strong commitment to meeting the needs of our society. We have much to be proud of in what we do, and our legacy should always “set the greatest of examples.” – Dr. Tom
