What Makes a Good Engineer?

You have to understand that everybody has a different goal on the project, and your goal isn't the same as everybody else's. An engineer needs do as he needs to be able to see a building in three d. And i'm driving down the road and i get a phone call from a contractor, and he just jumps straight into a question on a project, and i don't even know whathe's talking about. You got to take a step back, remember that project, remember that framing, see it in your head in three dimensions, and really understand what he's asking you.
