Ask an Engineer - The Changing Global Landscape

Submitted by Jam on October 10, 2011 - 2:51pm

Bit of a different flavour this week, I thought it would be interesting to get the opinions of a panel of engineers on a much larger question about our society. Obviously, none of the panellists are experts on sociology, geopolitics or economics, but it’s definitely interesting to gather different perspectives from around the world.

Jim Asks:

Is North America in decline or is the rest of the world just catching up?

Viktor Asks:

Will a year's worth of classes in economics/business do me any good later in my work as an engineer?

Ask an Engineer - How Do You Cope with Stress?

Submitted by Jam on May 18, 2011 - 12:17pm

Dwight asks:
How do you cope with stress from work, that nearing deadline or endless todo lists? I know it's a vague question (and not really engineer related) and the answers will probably differ much from person to person but I'd like to see the different approaches everyone takes. I'm a software engineer and the work has been piling up lately and each evening at home after work I feel pretty much burned out, unable to do anything (useful).

StumptownBound

Submitted by Jam on April 15, 2011 - 12:03am

Did you know that I'm going to be at Stumptown this weekend? Perhaps you did not! Above this very text is a handy map which illustrates where you might find me at such a show.

If you are in Portland, Oregon (or within striking distance of that city), you should come see me! I'll be at table C-6 all by myself and if you don't come visit I might be terribly lonely :( :(
