Practicing engineers at all levels of experience are benefiting from the knowledge and application of The Mote Method. The technique of achieving impressive standards of calculations quickly is the product of years of experience, dating back to the pre-computers era. Even as Microsoft Office 2007 is released, The Mote Method is valid; it has survived Office 2003. The techniques and the ideas are timeless.
New graduates: In a typical design office, knowledge isn’t written down, but learned piecemeal. Graduates coming into the engineering profession no longer have examples on which build their confidence. This issue is especially critical in the emerging markets of India and the Far East, where young engineers outnumber experienced engineers and they are hungry for knowledge. Learning The Mote Method will set them on fire, inspire them, retain them the within the industry and help their professional development. The simple building blocks of The Engineer’s Word and The Engineer’s Tables will set the on a lifelong path towards engineering excellence.
Intermediate engineers have neither the time nor the opportunity to develop good habits, and many still produce calculations by hand. With no basic template that can be reproduced, the spreadsheets they create are often poorly developed and vary in quality. Many intermediate engineers have tried some form of new ways of doing calculations but have lapsed. This group benefits most from The Engineer’s Tables, which will give them the opportunity to develop tools with real educational benefits.
Senior engineers have persisted in using computers, but most don’t have time to follow trends or develop their proficiency. They stumble along in an imperfect but time-honored default method. This group will get the most benefit from The Mote Method, simply because they recognize they should have applied it years ago. They feel comfortable with all the links between the past and the future. It is surprising to see how they grasp the Macro element and understand that they can continue where they left off, before MS Windows changed the world.
Engineering Companies
The Mote Method is a godsend for engineering firms, from small consulting groups to large petrochemical outfits—especially those who seek to comply with ISO 9000 or ISO 14000 environmental management standards.
Over the last ten years, recruitment issues place enormous strain on many corporations. The engineering profession has lost generations of engineers to computer sciences and the now struggles to compete for new resources. Would you advise anyone to be an engineer today? If you saw the Mote Method applied, you would say, "Definitely."
At the business level, The Mote Method is an ideal corporate guide to help civil/structural engineers with continuing professional development. Global corporations and companies will have a direct interest in the books, seminars and training.
