Jose Ceralde 19 Sept 2007 Engineering may not be the first solution to the flooding of our beloved city. I hope the first questioned asked are the ones that would not involved major expenditure. Could a change of doing things alleviate the problem? Will the mining activities from…
Isidro Ramos 19 Sept 2007 Well taken, Mr. Carrera you said, “Most bizarre engineering analysis and planning of the century”… And you continued on to say, “I pity those engineering students taking or took their classes under professors or instructors with such “bright ideas”. Bizarre as it may…

Jeremias Andrade Carrera 18 Sept 2007 Mr. Ramos, I hate to tell you this: What I said was bizarre, I did not say it is not doable. Please consult your dictionary. I know and everybody reading your posts know by now that you are well traveled and that…
No need for travel to learn
