Engineers build nations. In fact, once you cross the boundaries of conventional thinking, the potential is limitless. At the far end of imagination, science fiction writers dream of planetary and stellar engineers in our galactic future. But I’ll leave exploring the educational resources for those engineers with the help of Digit’s Fast Track.
When compiling a list of engineering resources, I am faced with the decision of what to include and what to leave out. This chapter will hopefully make most happy; most, but not all. So with apologies to all you budding engineers, here is bunch of appetizers to get you started.
