Default Boeing Engineer Of The Year 2011
Congratulations, Pio, for a job well done. I'm glad your first experience with flying, flight, the cockpit and pilots were so positive that they compelled you to take the career path that you did.

Engineers have also designed "active damping" systems for tall buildings during earthquakes. Large computer-controlled weights shift to counteract ground movements (much lower frequency, of course).
