In a national effort to crush stereotypes and emphasize their field’s underrated importance to society–engineers everywhere are stepping away from their monitors, if only for a nanosecond, to let the world know that it is National Engineers Week (E-Week if you’re nasty).
The event ends today, Feb. 23. Engineer and former ASUC senator Igor Tregub penned quite a loquacious Op-Ed in the Daily Cal yesterday in honor of the past week. It was totally inspired by Ratatouille. Anyone can cook be an engineer, he said, as long as they are working to make the world a better place!
And perhaps he’s right–you don’t need to be in the College of Engineering to save the world as we know it. There’s actually a multidisciplinary student group somewhere called Berkeley Innovation that focuses precisely on engineering design solutions for a better Berkeley. If you’re thinking of a Berkeley with no crime, theft, hippies or shortage of common sense–think simpler.
