One of my most rewarding experiences as an engineer was in performing some of the design for the Pentagon renovation prior to the Sept. 11 attacks, and then providing engineering support to the rebuilding effort.

We were all saddened by the attack, and my efforts were a small piece of a very large puzzle, but it was rewarding to be involved.
