Changing the Engineering World, One step at a time.....
What is this all about?
This blog is intended for professional structural engineers who want to to become better engineers. I teach how to use MS Word, MS Excel and VBA. Practising engineers have a dysfunctional relationship with computers and create endless streams of mediocre calculations. I discovered this exists everywhere!
I believe there are better ways to do calculations, spreadsheets and programming, for all engineers to be able to get ahead. It is intended to be non-technical and inspirational. And obvious, in hindsight.

Many engineers are sceptical that MS Word can be power tool of choice for engineers.
I agree it is not immediately obvious but once you know how it can be done and why it should be done you will feel very differently.
A large part of the resistance to MS Word by engineers is;
- cultural(ie secretarial work),
- no examples of engineering reference work,
- no strategy for using MS Word,
- too much to learn, and
- perceived as time-consuming.
These are myths.
Learn how to use MS Word as an engineer.
