Hello fellow engineers!

[Jochen Wendebaum]

So, finally a place to start discussing in without any disturbance. 

I think, there are already quite a lot articles in the old wikipedia pages that are quite good and can be transfered with minimal work. We should maybe start of with the "portal page" (http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Engineering), and maybe we should join it with the "Engineer" page (http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Engineer), as there is redundant information on both pages.

Kind regards,

Jochen

I doubt you should join the pages, as engineering and engineers are separate topics, just as philosophy and philosophers are separate topics.  Just make sure that you actually focus on the people, not the subject, in the latter article.

[Jochen Wendebaum]

on the wikipedia page there was a similar discussion about the topic. But I suppose you are right...

Hello, just a very brief note -- I'm not an engineer myself, but am at work on the entry for John Logie Baird, and wanted to let those here know that I have marked this article both for the "Media" and "Engineering" workgroups.  Not sure where it will ultimately belong, but I figured both groups might have an interest in it.

If there are any electrical engineers now or in the future who might like to revise/add to the technical aspects of this entry, I'd welcome their efforts.  My main home is in the Literature workgroup; this is just a bit of moonlighting for me

I have a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering and was also a Royal Engineer in the British Army, so I guess I should say 'Hi' in the Engineering workgroup; however, I have done very little work in this area for neigh on ten years. I am still interested in Engineering and will work on some related articles here. So I'm here as an author not an expert.

Sticking my head in as a new editor.

I have a B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, with emphasis in thermal conductivity, carbon/polymer composites and fuel cell systems.

Hi, my skills within this area are mostly in System Engineering and Program Management.  My math skills are very rusty, I learned my first engineering math using a slip stick.  So my limits are bounded by square roots, exponents and logarithms.  But I can add and multiply great with a calculator.

I know how to turn my computer on.

Seriously though, I'm up for hearing how everyone thinks we should proceed.

My daughter is studying engineering and i'm impressed by how little I know about the state of the art.  However, I do write about engineers of the past like Henry Ford and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, so I have an interst in the topic. I even do things like read OLD (1900) textbooks in coal mining.

[Derek Harkness]

I think the Engineering workgroup is falling behind. I'll try to give it some more attention soon. I have written something for this workgroup. However, like Richard Jensen, it has been on the historical aspect. I can get one up on him, though, by saying that I've been reading 18th century books on canal engineering.

We don't need more articles, we need an organization of the people that are here.  I don't even know who the members of this working group are or who leads.  On Wikipedia project page have lists of members and what their interests are.
