The virtues of the profession of engineering are extolled. The views of one of the greatest electrical engineers (Rudolf Kompfner) of the last century are quoted as follows: “The feeling one experiences when he obtains a new important insight when a crucial experiment works, when an idea begins to grow and bear fruit, these mental states are indescribably beautiful and exciting. Nomaterial reward can produce effects even distantly approaching them. Yet another benefit is that an inventor can never be bored. There is no time when I cannot think of a variety of problems. All waiting to be speculated about, perhaps tackled, perhaps solved. All one has to do is to ask the questions, why? How? And not be content with the easy, the superficial answer.”
