What If You Followed the Power Behind Your Light Switch?

Who is responsible for EVERYTHING around you? Let's learn (pretty much) all of engineering in under 17 minutes: the Big Six, the fields that break every rule, the Engineering Hall of Shame, and the one thing every engineer on Earth has in common. Of course this isn't ALL of engineering (there are hundreds of job titles out there), but it's the map that makes the rest of them make sense ;) ⏱ Chapters 00:00 Name One Thing 00:31 Who Is Responsible for This? 01:24 The Big Six 02:25 Civil Engineering 03:29 Mechanical Engineering 04:51 Fun Fact: Engineers Aren't Named After Engines 05:21 Chemical Engineering 06:58 Electrical Engineering 08:25 Software Engineering 10:01 Industrial Engineering 11:14 Actually, That Was a Lie 13:18 The Fields That Break the Rules 15:13 Materials Science: The Orphan 16:42 Systems Engineering: The Parent 18:07 The Engineering Hall of Shame 19:10 What Every Engineer Shares 20:42 The Ending 📚 Sources & further reading Full list: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F...] Origin of "engineer" (Latin ingenium): https://www.etymonline.com/word/engineer John Smeaton, the first self-proclaimed civil engineer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sm...
