  • On the heels of our April-Fools podcast, welcome back and enjoy this interesting session on Japanese whiskey. This is the story of two visionaries, Masataka Taketsuru and Shinjiro Torii, who revolutionized the art of whiskey in Japan. This podcast was recorded as part of a live event at our local structural engineering institute. The room can be noisy at times, but I promise if you hang in, there, an interesting story with themes of ambition, travel, politics, and drama, as well as art, balance, nature, ecosystems, science & technology.

  • Welcome back to our podcast with the second episode of a two-part interview with Professor Christopher S. Stowe, Ph.D., Professor of Military History and War Studies Department Head, Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University. We talk about the start of the United States Army Corps of Engineers and their involvement in the American Civil War, as well as the Topogs, cartography, and even into Chaos Theory!

    Professor Stowe is the author of numerous publications and has been a featured speaker on C-SPAN and the Pennsylvania Cable Network. He is a member of the Society for Military History and the Society of Civil War Historians. He was awarded the Department of the Army Commander’s Award for Civilian Service in 2011 and the Department of the Army Superior Civilian Service Award in 2014.

    Correction: In the interview Professor Stowe credited a quote from Bierce, but for posterity wishes to note the quote was actually from Napoleon. Professor Stowe regrets the error.

    The quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte is: "History is a set of lies agreed upon."

    The quote by Ambrose Bierce is: "History is an account, mostly false, or events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools."

    Note: The views contained within the podcast cast belong to Professor Stowe only and do not represent those of the USMC, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government.

  • In this latest "Raise the Grade!" podcast of The Art of Engineering, we talk with Yazdan Emrani, Vice President at Carollo Engineers in Costa Mesa, CA, and co-chair of the recent 2016 Orange County Infrastructure Report Card! You can access the report card here:

    www.ascecareportcard.org

    The 2016 Orange County Infrastructure Report Car rates the county a C+ average in 12 categories. The report was developed jointly through the efforts of the The Orange County branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the University of California Irvine Civil & Environmental Engineering Affiliates, an advisory group to the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering.

    According to the a UC Irvine press release, "The team assessed aviation (A-); electrical power (C-); flood control and levees (C-); ground transportation (C); natural gas (B-); oil (B-); parks, recreation and environment (C+); school facilities (C); solid waste (B); surface water quality (D+); wastewater (B); and water supply (B). This is the fourth Orange County Infrastructure Report Card. The first, released in 2002, resulted in a GPA of C; in the 2005 and 2010 analyses, the GPA stayed constant at C+."

  • In this exciting "Structural Art" podcast of The Art of Engineering, we talk with Professor Maria Garlock, Associate Professor at Princeton University! Professor Garlock teaches a fascinating course on the Art of Engineering: Bridges available at edX:

    https://www.edx.org/course/art-structural-engineering-bridges-princetonx-cee262-1x

    Maria shared a wonderful quote in answer to the question: is this process of these iterations of design an imaginative process or "logical reasoning based on technical training"?

    "It is both together, the imagination alone could not have reached such a design unaided by reason. To me it seems clear that imagination can operate successfully only in conjunction with the basic principles of technical creative work.”

    ~ Eduardo Torroja, Structural Engineer
