Abstract

The Famous Engineer Henry Petroski once wrote about one of his students who asked, “Why do engineering students feel superior to those of us studying in nontechnical fields?” [2] . Petroski answered the question like this: “Engineers are recognized as the creative people who bring us innovations like the smart phone, the personal computer, the Internet, and the World Wide Web, all of which have revolutionized the way we live, work, and play.” He concluded that engineers are considered superior because of their knowledge and creativity. I’m not sure that he came to the correct conclusion.

工程优势

著名工程师亨利·彼得斯基曾经写过他的一个学生问:“为什么工程专业的学生觉得比我们这些非技术专业的学生优越?””[2]。彼得罗夫斯基这样回答了这个问题:“工程师被认为是富有创造力的人，他们给我们带来了智能手机、个人电脑、互联网和万维网等创新，所有这些都彻底改变了我们的生活、工作和娱乐方式。”他的结论是，工程师被认为是优越的，因为他们的知识和创造力。我不敢肯定他是否得出了正确的结论。
