You have to understand things, like stress and strain, dynamics and control, how to solve differential and integral equations, and many other hard subjects. It takes many long years to understand some of these things. Not everything in the world is a pointy and clicky technology thing, sometimes, one has to do some pure thinking to solve an engineering problem. Even if one uses advanced computers, one still needs to undertand what they are doing, else the bridge might fall. --Nasser
