206.228.7010
PRINCIPIA
On Science
Apply the scientific method with rigor and intellectual humility.
Science is about the pursuit of truth; not the ratification of consensus.
Dissent with data is a critical tool of the engineer when evidence contradicts prevailing opinion.
On Public Service
First Canon: Hold paramount the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
Communicating public health concerns where guard rails must exist is a primary function of the engineer.
On Responsibility
"Responsible," in the sense of Engineer-of-Record, means subject-matter expert; whether professionally obligated or implied by role.
Engineer’s do not defer to the client on matters of safety and health. The client purchases expertise, not compliance.
On Judgment
All human beings by nature desire to know. Always see for yourself before judgment occurs.
Learn to navigate ethical dilemmas and cognitive biases.
Avoid toxic positivity. Seek direct, critical feedback and receive it with an open mind.
On Collaboration
Promote incentives and rewards that make the people around you want to do their best work.
Build environments where learning from peers is celebrated.
On Craft
Craftsmanship means dwelling on a task for a long time and going deeply into it, because you want to get it right.
On Knowledge
How can I be less wrong?
