Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Post

Toddler memories of my father as he taught me how to read engineering drawings on his drafting table. Fascination with symbols, mathematics, science, ancient history and how things work runs through my veins as pure life. He shared his life’s journeys that took him around the world and with each experience he had a journey twisted. Twisted with perspective, twisted with embracing culture, twisted with opportunity, twisted with wisdom, twisted with each place and twisted with himself. Listening and reading are a few of the keys he shared in gaining knowledge. At a time when technology was not so readily available I gained the most valuable skills. What I learned from my father is still a part of my process today. He had no computers, internet, or calculators for his complex calculations. He did it from memory, with the use of tables and slide rules. Echos of what makes life quality he ensured that this identity would live through me from him and to the next generation. I have his slide rule in a special drawer in my house and stand in gratitude for him not only being my father but for him being a rainmaker for so many that came after him. The meaning from my art is garnered though the discipline and all things quality inherited from my father. Can’t seem to let go, nor do I want to. I like my father have a culturally rich life that has taken me many places and allowed me to experience life that is now represented in form as I create art. There is an Adinkra symbol of life that representsTwisting’s. It relates to the proverb that says 'life's journey is twisted. ' The symbol itself twists and turns to reflect this wisdom. Life requires versatility and resilience, and these qualities are represented by this symbol. These symbols represent popular proverbs and maxims, record historical events, and express particular attitudes or behavior related to depicted figures, or concepts uniquely related to abstract shapes. Just like the life of my father. https://lnkd.in/eMggkAPx

Worthful Learning for frame structure design

Fellow young engineers, Reprogram your mind for Career Success You have to intentionally reprogram your mind to become the ultimate engineer you dreamed about. Success in CAD Design and Engineering in general is like riding a bike, You see other people rigid around so you know it is possible. However, before you can do the same, you are gonna wipe out a few times, After getting back up, you eventually peddle it like a pro. The same is true for what you are learning here at RoadsHub, CAD Skills Do not expect to figure it out on day 1 or even week 1, we are reprogramming your mind first. Results will surely come if you diligently follow the steps You are just as worthy, deserving, and capable of achieving everything that you want, in every area of your life as any other person on earth. We are here to guide by leading the way #TheultimateEngineer #RoadHub #engineeringexcellence #civilengineering

🎥 Understanding Structural Dynamics with LEGO! 🏗️🚀 Ever wondered how engineers determine where positive or negative bending moments occur along a span? The fun and engaging way to show you using everyone's favorite building blocks—LEGO! In this educational video, let's explore a simple rule-of-thumb that uses deflected shapes to identify bending moments in structures. Just like expressions in our faces, structures also show "emotions": Smiley 😊 faces indicate areas of positive bending. Frowns ☹️ faces point to areas of negative bending. This method not only simplifies complex engineering concepts but also makes learning interactive and enjoyable. Whether you’re a student trying to grasp the basics of structural engineering or a professional brushing up on your skills, this video is perfect for you!

Day 13, and I wanted to show you all this: https://lnkd.in/ebDnKf_U On the front cover, you'll see me designing a very questionable 'aeroplane', which does seem a bit more like a rocket. However, ignoring that, I was able to do this after about an hour of learning how to use SketchUp. So, when will I ever use SketchUp in the future? I'm not 100% sure if I even will, but I'm still grateful to learn the knowledge. It was a lot of fun to do and then compare my 3D model with other people's (trust me, it is quite good comparatively). I guess what I'm trying to say is it's important to gain as much knowledge as possible; it doesn't have to all be relevant, just interesting and fun to learn! See you all on Day 14!

From the missing space, As a newly starting story, Pages of the life is turning, With many unexpected twists, Countless experiences, Sometimes it hurts us, Sometimes it strengthens us, Sometimes it surprises us, Sometimes it wakes us up, It teaches us to get up when we fall, It corrects our mistakes by explaining it, Every chapter of life, Gives hope for tomorrow ... #Life #Lessonslearnt #Inspiration #success #successmindset #facadedesign #facadeengineering #engineeringexcellence #engineering #autocad #determination #positivemindset #achievement #jobtips #designing #constructiondesigning #facade #facadeprojects

You don't need CAD models to have productive engineering discussions. Want to learn how to sketch? I'm teaching a LIVE course in Spring 2024 to help you gain new skills. Send me a DM with your favorite food if you're interested, I'll get you on the early invite list. Think with your pen out; sketching is a superpower for engineers. #sketchyengineering
