How to use engineering in a sentence?
There are some innovations of ours that we actually want people to copy. So as much as possible - as long as it doesn't give away some of our other design and engineering innovation - we are happy to bring along the recycling industry, we have started to be much more transparent around this technology development than we usually are.

I suppose looking back from today, it was a kind of golden age, almost. This was after the war post-50s, 60s. The government had no interest in socially engineering black Americans anywhere. We were pretty much left to our own devices within the boundaries of segregation.

And so the focus was on what we could do for ourselves, and we did many great things.
