Excerpt from the Boston Globe Magazine's cover story on MIT of 1/15/95:
Problem solving is still MIT's calling card, but America's - and the
world's - problems are more complex than they used to be, and the
solutions need to involve more people across more disciplines. The
buzzword at Tech is ``context.'' Working out solutions in a lab now has
to factor in the business, organizational, social, political, economic,
environmental, and cultural context of the problem.
That's postmodern engineering, or ``engineering with a big E,'' as
engineering school dean Joel Moses calls it. ``We want to produce
students who are ready to go to work,'' says Robert Jaffe, who chairs
the faculty. ``Students who have creativity, a long-range view, and
analytical skills to solve the hard problems they'll encounter anew.''

So I'm walking through the desert
and I'm not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
and I do not want what I haven't got
