minus-square@Ckjazz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish14•9 months agoAs one in engineering, I think our work is less about precision and more about solving (challenging) problems with what is needed and nothing more. Anybody can build a deck that stands up, an engineer can build one that’s just strong enough to stand up (for rated load haha)
minus-square@lightnegative@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•9 months agoYeah, it’s about applying physics to real world problems to come up with real world solutions. Often in a more practical form because unlike in Physics, you can’t start off with “assume zero gravity and a spherical cow shape”
minus-squareautokludgelinkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoAs a design/drafter – I design to ‘look right’ which is probably overkill. Hopefully that headroom helps with the 300lb ape factor.
