Engineering, at its most basic, is creating something from an
   idea. Whether there is a theory to back the idea; there is the
   idea and an engineer attempts to make it a tangible reality.

   Putting Lego blocks together to make a house that you imagined
   in your mind, makes you an Engineer.

   But if a physical thing isn't being created; then it is
   storytelling. Storytelling is at the heart of teaching. ''This
   is what happened. This is how it happened. This is why it
   happened. This is who it happened to. This is where it happened.
   This is when it happened.'' Change happened to ''is happening''
   - and, if you are bold and have a strong enough basis for
   prediction, change happened to ''will happen''.

   That would make math, music, art, religion, science, all
   different ways to tell stories that explain things. Being a
   story doesn't make it not true; that just means that you're
   communicating ideas to others - rather than turning ideas into
   objects.
