The consensus views are affected by participants on the panels and committees,which introduces several possible biases such as small industries being under-represented.Definitions over TimeEtymological Basis of “Engineering”Etymologically, engineering seems to derive from similar roots to technology, a term which wasgiven a philosophical basis in ancient Greece 1, 4 through the root techne—productive skill orart—which was one of Aristotle’s intellectual virtues 5. Techne includes the skills of making andcreating that are in modern definitions of engineering. While engineering as defined today didnot exist in ancient Greece, nor is the evolution of modern definitions obvious, the influence ofancient writings on Western thought seems to

The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake EngineeringSimulation (NEES), an NSF-funded network of 14 large-scale experimental laboratoriesconnected by a robust cyberinfrastructure, completes its tenth year of operation in September2014. Its mission is to reduce the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis on society throughresearch, innovation, engineering, and education. Since the launch of NEES in 2003 the EOTprogram has grown from a federation of outreach activities run independently at the experimentallaboratories to an integrated network of
