Jeff Pike is a senior lecturer in civil engineering and construction engineering technology at Louisiana Tech and has professional engineering licenses in Virginia, Texas and Louisiana, and is an active professional engineer in Louisiana. Today he shares with us his Top 5 Tools for Engineering and Construction. He said:
“A couple of years ago my youngest son started a job where accurate and precise measurements are critical. We discussed perfect 90-degree angles, leveling, and plumb lines. All of these items compare existing conditions to an absolute truth. There is a way that seems right to a man, but true horizontal and true vertical don’t always line up with what we initially think are true.
“All these items are important to me for engineering and construction, and we even see the Biblical prophet Isaiah pointing out their significance. ‘I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness.’ Tape measures and plumb lines. computer science vs software engineering.”
