| 摘要： | Civil engineering is associated with precision, logic, and technical excellence. The profession demands problem-solving skills and attention to detail. However, in the pursuit of technical perfection, it's easy to overlook the importance of infusing a sense of fun and creativity into the process. It's important to understand why striking a balance between technical excellence and fun is not just desirable but essential for fostering innovation. For instance, my first job as a civil engineer in training was with the Illinois Department of Transportation in the construction division. There I was assigned to oversee the construction of the Clark Bridge - a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Mississippi River between Alton, Illinois, and West Alton, Missouri. At that time, it was the biggest construction project in the state of Illinois, and it had several changed conditions. It was fascinating to see the team of contractors, IDOT engineers, and design engineers collaborate to address these modifications and keep the project moving forward. To add to the excitement, PBS' NOVA was filming the project for a documentary it released a few years later called "Super Bridge." |
