Engineering 101, Wednesday Period 2, Lesson Two, January 17

[visor-laforge.livejournal.com]

Geordi was waiting in front of his desk as he watched the students come into the room and sit at their own desks. Once everyone was seated he smiled and began the lecture, “Good morning,” he said, “today we’re going to be looking at a history of engineering,”



He picked up a sheet of paper that the students would find on their desks. “As you can see from the information on your desks the history of engineering is complex,”

On their desks students would find information sheets relating to the history of science and the
history of technology. There is also details about engineering on the type of starships that exist in the Federation in Geordi’s universe. There was also other related information as well.

“So based on this information what can we learn from this?” Geordi asked, “is there a point to the continual evolution? Is there an actual goal in these scientific revolutions? Now I’d like you to give your views on this, remember there is no right or wrong answer,” he motioned at one of the students for them to speak.

Rikku puts her hand up nervously. "I don't know if this is what you mean, but I think people are always trying to get a way to get machina to do more things and better things with less power. I don't think that's bad or anything, it's just what is, you know? If you can make a mech that will patrol a road, for security, then maybe you could make a better one that could patrol twice as fast, or catch things the other one missed, or not use as many parts." She shrugged. "If someone can create something, maybe someone else can improve it. Maybe all these starship people were the same. Just looking for a way to do things better, or easier. That's the whole point of machina in the first place, isn't it?"
