  I think you have to do both – there’s no point learning new techniques if you don’t use them, and you can’t apply them without learning first. Engineering is changing all the time with new technologies involved, so I have to continually learn.

  It all goes hand in hand. I get a new project so I have to read up on the specific standards etc then go on and apply it. It’s always interesting to learn new things.
