#13 - The Forth Bridge - An Engineering Detour

Update: 2019-06-21

Description

An engineering detour is something engineers do when they go out of their way, usually on holiday, to go and check out a piece of engineering infrastructure. In this episode I take an engineering detour to the mighty Forth Bridge. Along the way we get into

the engineering of the structure,
how taking detours can build our creative skills,
and on a philosophical note I weigh up facts and figures versus experiential knowledge.

Join me for the ride!
