Macrofab Engineering Podcast

The concerning news of a missing submarine near the Titanic wreck site this week sparks conversation about the implications of using a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering, the importance of regulatory bodies for deep sea exploration and why backups are essential for critical systems. We also explore the question; is an engineer a scientist? Lastly, we discuss a breakthrough in laser-based data transmission that could revolutionize internet connectivity. Submarine Safety: Unconventional Controls and Engineering Design Suitability of game controllers for critical systems Regulatory compliance and safety standards in engineering projects What can we learn from this story and why backups are essential  Engineer vs. Scientist: Perception and Practice Proficiency at something vs. being an expert  Education vs. professionally paid for your work  “If you wear a white lab coat in your day job, you are a scientist”  Inspired by u/amirouche_up’s question at r/askengineers  Laser Internet: Overcoming Atmospheric Interferen
