Engineering education should be based on scientific expertise, but such does not implies the engineer becoming a professional researcher.
José Antonio Jiménez SalasGeotechnics expert (1916-2000)
Official research on bridges today thatI know of is almost non-existent. Andsuch makes sense. From someviewpoint, the bridge varies andevolves during its constructive processand, in this sense, the contractors’engineers become the maininnovators.
Javier Manterola ArmisenIABSE 2006 Award of Merit in Structural Engineering
Being a scholar does not require
dedicated research
We, engineers, do not want to be doctors
, and he defended the convenience of our School professors to practice professionally, enhancing their teaching through professional practice.
Vicente MachimbarrenaFormer dean of Madrid School of Civil Engineering
Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It
Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.

If You Judge a practitioner by his/her Ability to publish peer reviewed
articles, the system Will Live Its Whole Life considering WRONGLY that
he/she is unfit for academia.
