Once-Upon-A-Time Contest!!
Re-Engineered Fairy Tales
Fairy
tales, legends, and nursery rhymes are popular reading and
part of our heritage. But how would some well known stories be
different if engineers --who design, build, and manufacture just
about everything --were involved? Image if...The three little
pigs had known something about structures and materials ...Cinderella
worked in a “smart” house with the latest technology
and automation...Hansel and Gretel had the global positioning system
for their walk in the woods...Little Red Riding Hood’s
grandmother had a home security system, or...if the Pat-a-Cake
Baker had a bread machine.
So...once upon a time there was this engineer......
Send in your re-engineered fairy tale by January 1, 2005.
We’d like to start publishing them online in January, with
the “Best of the Best” grand prize winner debuting
during Engineers Week in February.
