Just a few weeks ago, we learned about the importance of emotion as a tool for ethical engineers. Emotion can serve not only as a guide, but also as an inspiration and motivation. The goal of art is to inspire by invoking emotions in the audience, and therefore can serve engineers well in their education and practice. In the art museum, my favorite exhibit was the looms. Looms are more than simple inanimate objects — they are creations which themselves, create, an entirely autonomous extension of a man (or more precisely, of an engineer). While the looms may seem to be a totally utilitarian object, and out of place in a gallery of art, to me they represent the creative potential of engineering and the creative spirit that is at the heart of the field.
