engineers have a great deal to learn from the perfected complex systems of life. A striking example is found on page 92: ‘Ancient bacteria mastered nanotechnology. Already miniaturized, bacteria control specific molecules in ways of which human engineers can only dream. Far more complex than any computer or robot…’ The author then goes on to describe the flagella of bacteria that are made of ‘rings, tiny bearings, and rotors’ and that spin about ’15,000 rpm.’ Today in the 21st century with all of the extensive advanced technology available, humans have not come close to designing something so complex, so miniaturized as bacteria. In fact the search is on for a living computer chip. This example

Theextracted carbon fiber composites associated with the carbonized PAN nanofibers were used as astrain sensor during the loading and unloading of the carbon fiber composites panels. The electricalresistivity values of the nanofibers were changed at different strain conditions. The surfacehydrophobicity of the carbonized samples were also measured and the test results were evaluatedin detail.

The ancient approach to artwas best understood in a combination of form and function, rather than the separation of the twothat is often seen in the modern engineering curriculum. As such, one objective of the “EnduringDesign” course was to provide a modern forum for students to ponder this classical approach toart.The understanding of the creative arts has a potential for

Engineering and Public PolicyAbstractThere exists a gap between engineering and public policy which must be bridged. Engineers areaffected by public policy but are seldom involved in setting policy. Engineers, and the decisionsthey make, also affect public policy. Those who set the policy frequently do not have a fullappreciation of the technological issues involved and the engineers often do not appreciate theimplication of their decisions on society. If engineers do not take a more active role in the settingof public policy, they will be left to work within the policies set by others who may lack adequatetechnical skills and they will be remiss in their duties as citizens to foster good policy. If thepolicy setters do not develop a greater
