Making use of Technology!
Knowing project management and auto-cad software is good for an engineer used to doing the vintage tracing paper and pencil drawings. Both skills will be needed time and again, whether you like it or not. As technology advances, updating is a necessity, else obsolescence sets in.

Straight and curve lines!

Straight Lines!
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That is a fact, and an infallible principle followed by all technical men. But, a straight line is not necessarily the right solution for a distance problem. It may not be effective in some cases. So, when making your own design in the order of things, you may need some detours in order to best accomplish the production of things. Have you seen a cross country type rod and bar mill? If you have, then I think you understand very well, why you need curvatures and repeaters in the systems design of the finishing line. The long bar could not be accom-modated in a short length bar mill, if straight lines are used all the way.
