I had read this book a while back but forgot about it. great book.

I'm giving a 10 minute talk to high school kids about the engineering field
as a possible career next week. I'm going to use the first paragraph of the
book as a quote.

"Design is a Passionate Process
Long before any design project starts, the design
engineer has to believe that there is a problem that is
worthy of their attention. The design engineer must feel
a need to solve the problem. The design engineer must
have a yearning to solve the problem. The design engineer
must be passionate about solving the problem!"


BTW, do you have any other suggestions or interesting quotes aimed at having
high schoolers consider the engineering field?
