Engineering Practices, Processes, and Projects from an Outsider’s Perspective

This episode provides an independent view of the engineering
process from a professional service provider who is not an
engineer. This is a valuable perspective because, while it shares
a similar background with engineering, architecture often invokes
a more human feel to its processes. This can offer a higher level
of focus on customer-oriented goals rather than simply the design
specifications. Aligning an engineering firm's core values and
culture with a client’s stated goals and anticipated outcomes can
lead to more than just project success. It allows the work to
achieve goals beyond just the design and construction of a
physical asset. Working to understand those goals can position a
firm in a specialized light compared to its industry peers.
