Yes, that was great. They even explained why it worked. Beyond the crash -- which quickly became one of my favorites -- it was a terrific character study.
Thanks for the Dam Busters recommendation, Debera. I'm going to watch it. And, yes, I too think that Bridge on the River Kwai was an awesome engineering movie.
Dam Busters is also one of the good engineering movie it shows how british engineer developed a special bomb used to attack hydroelectric dams during world war 2
Thanks Jon, I will definitely watch Azorian being an engineer i am too much into engineering movies no doubt flight of Pheonix and No Highway In The Sky are one of the best engineering movies. But i would like to share that BRIDGE ON RIVER KWAI is also an excellent engineering movie for civil engineers it shows how the British prisonors during world war 2 were ordered to construct a bridge in order to acomodate a railway under the supervision of Nicholson.
I recently rented a copy of the movie, "No Highway in the Sky" with James Stewart. And, yes, it's dated, but it still holds up well as an engineering movie after more than 50 years
The Machinist Calc Pro computes speeds and feed rates for milling, turning, and drilling: cutting speed, spindle speed, feed rate (inches/minute), cutting feed, etc.
During a recent meeting with engineering-school faculty and alumni, Contributing Technical Editor Jon Titus talked about whether colleges should educate generalists or specialists. What do you think?

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
