    Abstract:
    Henry Petroski used to be a theoretician only at the Talbot Laboratory, which housed the Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the University of Illinois at Urbana. Later in his career, he was introduced to the applied side of engineering by his colleague, JoDean Morrow. By involving himself in applied engineering, he came to fully understand the science of engineering.
