Question: what tools do you need to be an engineer

David Nolan answered on 7 Mar 2017:

The most important tool that you need to be an engineer is your brain!

Sometimes you have to use spanners, screwdrivers and pliers to make of fix a machine. Othertimes you have you use your computer to make drawings of things that you want to get made in the workshop. I use a supercomputer that’s 300 times more powerful that a laptop to simulate things that we invent.

We also have a 3D printer that we use to make our own tools and fixtures.
