During my time at the Harris County Toll Road Authority, I remember my supervisor talking about the moment that he understood what his profession (engineer) was all about. He was working for a railroad and had designed a bridge over a culvert. Several months later he was taken to a remote location where he was shown his bridge – and then watched as a train passed over his bridge at a high rate of speed. Were he wrong in any one of several calculations, the result would have been an accident and possibly fatalities. To say that he took all calculations seriously after that would be an understatement.
