Many times I have said ”that would be interesting to talk about over a beer or two.” So here it is. Over real or virtual beers, conversations with engineers about why they are an engineer, what they like about it, and some tips that they would share with others. And then anything else interesting or humorous that comes up...

#34 – Tim Johnson: Axe throwing, Ninja engineer Owns a Parkour/ninja gym and Axe-Throwing Bar The town council raised an eyebrow at the second one. Tinker toys and old broken toys can be used for prototypes In college, president of the Demiurgical Engineering club. Worked on the Segway and Rockband drumkit. Tried to quit but his boss wouldn’t let him. Has been doing martial arts since he was a child so he started his own gym. but thinks it has been a bit wimpified a bit. Once an engineer, always an engineer When starting a company, better to do it slowly than jumping in 100%. Tim wrote several dual language books. Opened The Axe Pit in 2016, serving local wine, beer, and liquor. The gym is an opportunity to learn problem solving and expanding comfort zone. Don’t say “No”, say “yes, if.” For fun he does a bit of drone racing. Around the house. He has a swinging bookshelf that goes into his “secret” lab.

#33 – Chris Costa: He always has enough time for people. Chris is enjoying his favorite beer, Sam Adams Octoberfest Chris placed engineers and now sells SolidWorks Crashed three planes when in high school Some recruiters suggest jobs that are a terrible fit. It seems like an easy job, but it isn’t. It requires lots of contacts. Learn from his father: “You always have enough time for people” How many things could you do with this brick? Drafter and mechanical designer jobs have all but disappeared. Mechanical engineers wear a lot of hats. Engineers get too much blame and not enough credit. Without engineers, he wouldn’t have a job. Engineers typically struggle to market themselves. Two things not to say: “After he left, I had to fix his mess” “But we’ve always done it this way” Many years coaching baseball and now an umpire. Youth baseball has changed in 50 years. He has good friends with mutual trust. Per Chris, demand for injection molded plastic parts is not going away. Used to love “The Gong Show” The original “Star Trek” only lasted three seasons. He has advised people to try a different profession.

#32 – Steve Drake: Speakers in your suspension? Beers with engineers or wine-ing and designing? Steve worked at Bose – the Soundlink and the Wave CD radio. As a kid, he jumped off a roof with a trash bag as a parachute. Elsewhere, worked in electro-optics system group. Always been interested in acoustics and Bose was very close to home. Bose was a great place to work; high caliber people. Bose worked on car suspension. They also worked on suspension seats for trucks. Bose – big rich sound in a really small package Steve likes Klipsch speakers Helped unify different groups at Olympus Did some nice analysis on silicone for passive radiators in Bose speakers Sometimes test results that don’t make sense at first actually do when examined closely. He took an engineering approach to getting his daughter to nap better. Steve likes cooking. It’s more like jazz than engineering. "On Food and Cooking" by Harold McGee " Chemistry in the Kitchen " by Matthew Hartings Steve wants to go to Portugal, see the coast, and try the food. Croatia is also high on the list.

#31 – Todd Mansfield: Culture is what you do. Lots of microbreweries in Boise, Idaho. Todd grew up on a farm north of Boise. He became an aircraft mechanic and is also a pilot He did fly the planes he worked on. Later involved in building materials and electromechanical devices. Worked on kit airplanes 9V batteries contain 6 AAAA batteries His company, OneIPM, co-founded by Bill Dahl, who co-founded Solidworks PDM Works. Their tool is fully integrated into Onshape Bert used and liked Trello years ago. One IPM and Trello both use kanban boards OneIPM is good for project management and assembly structure visualization On the importance of culture and remote work. Working in different time zones Don’t keep score when golfing Todd's company - www.oneipm.com/ Bert’s Company – www.dexterityeng.com…
#30 – Josh Hoy: Robots and a dollar store trebuchet Josh wanted to work on robots since 4th You learn the fastest by making mistakes and teaching other people about them. Robotics program is like three minors You work both below and above your pay grade. Bamboo bicycles are a thing; bamboo lacrosse sticks, too. Wooden shoes complicated forming the EU. Things look done way before they are done. A few SolidWorks tips. Josh is a big OnShape fan Did you know dollar stores sell pallets? A specific career plan is not required, but a guiding thought is.

#29 – Annie Green: Artificial Intelligence, consider both value and values. Among other things, Annie is an instructor at George Washington University. She originally wanted to be a pediatrician but decided against it. Working with blood analyzers was part of her shift to engineering. Artificial intelligence is the emulation of man. Our brains use the past and the present to predict the future. Structured vs unstructured artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence vs augmented intelligence ChatGPT, et al are augmented intelligence. Necessity is the mother of invention. Laziness is the father. She feels we need to stop or pause and think about AI for some time. Gell-Mann amnesia effect – applies to AI. Is there a correlation between jobs that can be done remotely and jobs that can be replaced by AI? Go back to the office to share your knowledge and help others. Similarly, go to the office to learn. There is a lot more to AI than ChatGPT. AI was kicked off in 1956, but computers weren’t strong enough. “Hidden Figures” movie about human computers. Data is the blood of an organization. Intelligence is actionable information. She doesn’t want to be an influencer, she wants to be an illuminator. She wants AI to bring true value, without compromising values. Working on a Knowledge management education forum. Bert’s Company – www.dexterityeng.com…
This trailer gives you a quick overview of the podcast. Your host, Bert Uschold, talks to other engineers about their careers, engineering, and whatever else that interests us. It is a pint of fun and a shot of geek. If you want to find out more about Bert, below is a link to a short bio and a bit of work history. https://dexterityeng.com/about…
#28 – Tim Coonahan: Not team building, building a team Tim is Director, Design and Development at Medica Corporation Drinking engineering appropriately named beer – “Ripping Through Dimensions” and “Memory Bias”. An anti-phonetic (not semaphore) alphabet “A” as in are, “y” as in you, “E” as in eye. Went to RPI – Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, oldest non-military technical school in the US. Started as biomedical, ended as mechanical Learn as much as you possibly can From a family of engineers – steel and railroads Organic chemistry as an elective? Is vertical integration coming back? A Machine Design cover story got him into product development consulting. Got him back into biomedical engineering Happy to be middle-management, closer to engineering. You’re either learning or earning Be open to new ideas. “Your work is done not when there is nothing more to add, it’s done when there’s nothing more to take away.” Electric cars have many fewer parts. First used sla in 1988. We were with each other on 9/11. Our memories are a little different. Tim collects old Porsches and has 44-year-old boots. Bert’s Company – www.dexterityeng.com…
Bonus Episode #3 In this bonus episode all of the jokes from the first year of the podcast are compiled in one place. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. One duplicate was removed and another you could argue is a duplicate but got left in. Unlike many compilations, there is no extra narration between clips stretching it out. A bit of the original conversations before and after is included to make it flow a little better. Enjoy! Bert's company - www.dexterityeng.com…
#27 – Bert Uschold: On the other side of the mike. Bert owns his own engineering consulting firm, Dexterity Engineering, LLC and regular host of this podcast. Doug wants to be like Bert Doug has bought over half the beers Bert has ever consumed. He could have been a lumberjack or an architect A night light was his first invention. A quart of random loose change is about $100. Bert is more design engineer than mechanical engineer Or even better, full stack product development engineer. Bert figured out how to determine process capability for true position dimensions. And Doug’s company has used it. Bert knew what the surgeons needed six months before they knew it. Inside the box is harder than outside the box. The Apollo 13 CO2 scrubber problem is an excellent example of inside the box thinking. Bert’s superpower is seeing when people are not talking about the same thing or solving the wrong problem. About eating cake and gaining weight. About the podcast Favorite part is getting to know new people and old friends Bert would still do it if he had no listeners 20-25% are outside the US Favorite comment is “that’s a great question” Has ridden bicycles built for one, two, and four. He’s has been to many baseball stadiums. Bert and Doug both enjoy interviewing better than being interviewed.

#26 – Doug Tyger – When is an engineer not an engineer? Doug is the owner of Integral Manufacturing, between Cincinnati and Dayton. Chose engineering because it paid well Chose material science because materials are important to all other engineering disciplines. We were coops at Procter and Gamble. Helped fix a broken Pringles line He saw more options at a steel company, whose president was a metallurgical engineer. Supported auto industry. They crashed a lot of cars during development back then Material Science Engineering degree – isn’t something either science or engineering? He worked with guys who could design alloys in their head. When considering working on complex systems, a lot of people could be considered an engineer. Is the dual path still available for engineers? Is that guy sleeping or thinking hard? Is there a lightbulb, question mark, or exclamation point above your head? What type of question mark? Do you want a consultant to answer your questions or give you new questions? Doug sees himself as a job provider and loves to see people “get it”. Enjoys serving on boards for non-profits. Spends time with family and church men’s group. Doug’s Company – Integral Manufacturing, https://integralmfg.com/ Bert’s Company – www.dexterityeng.com…
#25 – Murat Islam: He’s a Turk, Definitely not a Turkey. Murat is a Lead Engineer at John Crane Couplings Fellow of the IMechE, like the ASME We call it A-S-M-E, they call it as-me. Growing up in Turkey, he and brothers made their own toys. Turkey’s college entrance exam is different from the US and UK. It helps direct you into your best subject SAT and other tests are not the best, but they are what we have Some of his engineering classes were in English. Earned a master’s degree in UK. Received patent for installing undersea cables and pipelines, therefore, he helps data circle the world. Engineering failures aren’t the end of the world, but we still don’t like them Learn from your failures and the failures of others Failures also drive new requirements Is a chartered engineer. Similar to professional engineer in US. CE – more experience based. PE – more test based Fellowship is similar but much higher level. Also requires mentorship. How turkeys got their name. US and England – divided by a common language Buses and small Scottish and Welsh roads Likes RVing or caravaning and makes small customizations for it. He is a big fan of AI. ChatGPT is like the Model T. A good start with an amazing future. Murat’s undersea cable patent GB2554434 Bert’s Company – www.dexterityeng.com…
#24 – Luis Figarella: The Fourth F is for Figarella Luis is patent agent in Massachusetts, originally from Puerto Rico and enjoying a Puerto Rican beer. Wanted to be a fighter pilot but stopped by bad eyes. Became an electrical engineer instead. Remember when resumes were actually mailed? In late 80s, worked for UPS on automated truck loading. Early in his career, he didn’t even know what a patent was. Learned his first patent had issued because he received an offer to make a plaque of it. Patent descriptions are like painting by numbers. It is an important decision on what to patent. Learned that Florida is hotter than Puerto Rico. A little on patent agent vs. attorney. Claim writing is an art form. And a very important one. Strategic patent – what you want to make. Tactical patent – similar to what you want to make. Luis is a big Dilbert fan. Loves teaching people what patents are. Most clients are in the FFF round – friends, family, and fools. Luis is a bit of a history buff. To reach Luis – 603-557-8420, www.mxpatent.com , luis@mxpatent.com .

#23 - Clay Williams: Supply chains are like fractals Clay is an account executive for Jiga. Clay is from Tennessee and has actually been to my town, Leominster, MA. Degree in Supply Chain Management Video of Roman Army on the march Jiga – cross between digital manufacturing and local machine shop Full automation is really tough? Hadrian Automation – Manufacturing the future. Seem to be following The Goal or Theory of Constraints , both by Eli Goldratt Supply chain strategy often base on manufacturing concepts. Supply chains are internal and external Not “The Origin of Stuff”, but “The Story of Stuff” Annie Leonard Supply chains are like fractals Ford doesn’t make cars, they assemble them. Do automaker and their suppliers have recall insurance? “Anybody can hold a tenth.” Clay is a people person – thrives on customer satisfaction. Sometimes outstanding customer service doesn’t take much effort. Are cicadas electronic transformers? Peanut Butter and Jelly beer is popular. Clay says “Go Vols!” Where Clay works Jiga Bert's company Dexterity Engineering, LLC…
#22 - Matt De Remer: Every Product is Important Matt has his own engineering consulting firm, engineered. (Updated since released) In high school, bought an RC car instead of a real car. He chose engineering over art. UMass Amherst had a program to help choose which branch of engineering. Mechanical engineering degrees can go into a wide variety of fields. In college, engineers need to problem solve and then keep learning. Small development firms – some formal training but lots of on-the-job training. Specialization vs generalization. Entrepreneurism is in our families. Matt learned from his father’s example. Virtual networking has it pros and cons. Matt is a Solidworks Certified Professional – speed is a key aspect of the test. Take the EIT sooner rather than later. PE exam did not have something that fit his field. Looks back fondly on his entire career. Saw a firefighting tool he worked on and saw it at Smokey the Bear’s birthday party. Worked on lung transport tool that keeps them “breathing.” 95% of the use cases are easy. The edge cases are what challenge you. Likes gravel biking. Solving wedding problems. Reach Matt – Matt@engineeredpd.com Reach Bert - www.dexterityeng.com…
