The Big K: What kind of engineers are you looking for?
Amy: We are looking for two types of individuals:
- Mechanic/Inventor - hands on, practical type who understand how things work. Comfortable wielding a wrench and able to figure out how to construct almost anything. The kind of person who can strip and re-build a car engine / fabricate a solution by welding a couple of components together. Their skills will be rooted in the experimental world where practically seeing what happens is the key to knowledge.
- Theoretical Engineer - scientist with a more theoretical approach. Uses the scientific model, the equation and hi tech measuring tools to work out how materials and systems will behave under certain circumstances. Is able to predict with accuracy what will happen given information such as height, weight, pressure, heat etc.
