One of the better places to look for new product inspiration is from the disabled because it enriches everyone and allows human potential to flourish.
Like many of you, I am always searching for new sources of inspiration — for ways of looking at things that will spark the creative juices.
It's really the way most of us try to enhance serendipity, when you find something that makes you think “Aha! That was so obvious, why didn't someone (I) think of it.”

Sally Ride , America’s first woman astronaut, has emerged as one of the nation’s leading proponents of science education - particularly for middle-school girls. Dr. Ride’s journey from a high school tennis player to NASA celebrity involved a lot of math. After earning much deserved fame and relative fortune from her space endeavors, Ride directed her attention to what she sees as a national crisis: a dearth of female students pursuing science and engineering careers.

How to create motivation when an overwhelming 85% of kids aged 8-17 said they are not interested in a future engineering career for several reasons, according to surveys of youth and adults by Harris Interactive on behalf of American Society for Quality (ASQ). The ASQ survey’s goal was to provide a better understanding about the perceptions of selecting an engineering career in light of a troubling shortage of U.S. engineers, which will reach 70,000 by 2010 based on an estimate by the National Science Foundation.

Yesterday , I watched my 85-year-old uncle cut up a cheap tarp to make seat covers for some wet chairs at a outdoor family gathering. He went about the task like the engineer he has always been, measuring twice and cutting once.
It’s been said writing, reading and projects like this keeps the mind sharp in old age. Besides clean living, a doer mentality and good genes, I wondered if his chosen profession of civil engineering has contributed to his mental acuity and overall well-being. He has always timed his hamburgers on the grill with a stopwatch. It’s the same with boiling lobsters. He’s was a master of the slide rule before calculators. As a B-24 navigator in WWII, he often got his crew safely back to base using celestial navigation.

Yet another shocking revelation about the Australian submarine force is the fact that the cooks onboard these boats make more (about $160,000 a year) than some admirals. It's all about morale, which is very important on submarines. A major component of good morale in all navies is the food, and this is particularly true on submarines.

At the beginning of the space age, the United States realized that preeminence in space exploration and development could only be achieved through a commitment to robust investments in advanced space research and technology. Starting with the Kennedy Administration, and continuing until just the past four years, the US civil space program has been characterized not only by remarkable achievements in space (e.g., Surveyor, Mercury, Pioneer, Gemini, Apollo, and other programs), but also by ambitious investments in space technology.

What do engineers do? They identify a need and they create something that satisfies it. "Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been," said Theodore Von Karman who was both a scientist and an engineer. Or, as the Prime Minister said recently: "Engineers built our past and they shall build our future".
