@21etech It's amazing how many leisurely activities have complex designs, such as skateboarding or biking. #EngrImpacts

This is a patent to a folding bicycle that I found interesting. It was filed nearly 50 years ago. https://t.co/bkfFeDjJF1 #engrimpacts

@eserzsi3 It's easy to see why there are so many patents when you realize that patents can cover a wide variety of things. #EngrImpacts

@berkhistoryclas My thoughts exactly. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@robaipr I agree; I couldn't figure out the homework at all. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

We made a surprising amount of progress in a week. #EngrImpacts

@CraigMason14 Excel is frustrating until you know how it work. #EngrImpacts

@shmord1 For instance, the Fahrenheit is easier than Celsius for regular people. 32 is cold, 100 is blistering. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@shmord1 While I think that metric is good, there are some parts of the English system that make sense in everyday life (1/2) #EngrImpacts

Not a very good start on our project, but hopefull we'll make some progress tomorrow night. #EngrImpacts

@nsweisenberger The easy way out is usually the wrong way out, especially when lives are on the line. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@Abdizzal You can't solve a problem unless you know what it is, so I agree. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@Grund74Tyler This plays a role in what we say and what we do. We shouldn't do things that will reflect badly upon ourselves. #EngrImpacts

Solutions that work with the norms and values of other cultures are easier to implement than ones that don't. #engrimpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@eserzsi3 Solutions must be made on an individual basis for each culture, otherwise only more problems are created. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@johnsonc3157 It also improves the lives of those who don't have the basic necessities that are plentiful in advanced societies #EngrImpacts

Engineers not only have a social responsibility to their client and country, but primarily to the entire world. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@bakenj3697 I think that most engineers would still be ethical; those that were ethical only because of the code would change. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

@shangj6965 I agree; I think unethical engineers would be unethical whether there was a code or not. #EngrImpacts

[Elliott Johnson @johnsonestt]

Engineering codes of ethics are deliberately vague because they trust that the engineer will not give in to personal motives. #EngrImpacts
