Pathway from school to materials science and engineering • Ryan suggests physics and chemistry as the subjects most relevant for MS&E. I had great arguments about mathematical proofs with my amazing grade school maths teachers and was a regular at Boston’s science museum.

I strongly believe that the world needs engineers with strong critical thinking skills, who know how to ask questions, understand bias, construct and evaluate arguments, and think comprehensively and creatively. This goes hand in hand with ethical thinking.

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.

So, for example, here’s a graphical representation of a simple arithmetic evaluation, with TraceOriginal → True : And here’s the corresponding “pruned” version, with TraceOriginal → Automatic : (And, yes, the structures of these graphs are closely related to things like the causal graphs we construct in our Physics Project.)
