When Robert’s professors during school had him and his classmates use simplified assumptions to teach engineering problem solving his response was always “but what if these assumptions aren’t true?” Robert Whirley has always wanted (and successfully done) to solve the hard problems. Join us as we hear about his experience working as an engineer in multiple industries and starting product development companies of his own.
