like St. Al’s
Some likely features

What if…
•What if we truly embraced our code of ethics?
•What if we truly “Hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public”?
•What if we designed our curriculum and programs around that central theme?
•What if we taught engineering students to solve Problems with a capital “P” instead of teaching them to design widgets?
