Q&A…asks PE readers their views on: the controversial Olympics in China

摘要

The Olympic Games are the pinnacle of global sporting competition and achievement, and you'll be doing awfully well to escape them on the TV screen in the next few weeks. They're also, though, in some respects a pinnacle of technological achievement and contentious issues, and that's why they're the subject of Q&A this issue.rnThe subject too, one suspects, of a lot of saloon-bar-style debate. Rarely if ever have we had so much write-in comment attached to answers that are meant to be couched in "Yes, No or Don't Know" terms. There are issues in the Olympics that engineers feel strongly about, and dilemmas they're not entirely sure they can resolve.
