As engineers we have a scientific training that makes us want empirical evidence to explain every phenomenon. If we can't prove it, we don't believe it.
As humans many of us believe in a higher being and we do so based on faith.
These two approaches can clash in our minds at different times in our lives.
Tonight, Gordy put on a showing of the movie Contact (starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey and based on the book by Carl Sagan) for our engineering students. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. If you have, watch it again.
This movie can help us science based thinker come to grips with faith.

A Place for Current/Former Students of Ron Ulseth to find Job Search Information
Re-Tooling TBL
For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

saw contact the other day, it reminded me a lot of an earlier sci-fi flick, the Abyss starring Ed Harris... both main characters meet the aliens face to face at the end.
