Some 25 laboratories are envisioned, housing everything from plant scientists devoted to creating new strains of feedstock crops to mechanical engineers designing new farm equipment.
Mr. Uliassi, a mechanical engineer, designed the 160-foot balloon with some assistance from his wife, after whom it is named.
Bill, a computer hacker, did the programming and electrical stuff, and Hugh, a mechanical engineer, designed the enclosures.
My father, a mechanical engineer, designed cake mix packing lines for Duncan Hines, and brought home boxes of experimental dessert formulas from the company test kitchens, with official-sounding questionnaires.
James Parks, a mechanical engineer, designed equipment to make intricately packaged items like electronic components.
He spent his first six years with the team as a mechanical engineer, designing, testing, and deploying sensor systems all over the world.
The mechanical engineers design and build the robots, the electrical engineers design the circuit boards, the computer scientists build the software platforms.
Mechanical engineers design and build machines and devices that enable humans to live and work in space, in the air, on the ground, and under water.
Mechanical engineers design the boilers, hot water piping, heating systems, air handlers, and air conditioning units.
But then companies needed mechanical engineers to design for steam power and mechanics.
