• Q&A with EIT Instructor Frikkie Marx

  

  Frikkie Marx has been with EIT for more than two decades. In that time, he’s cemented himself as a backbone member of staff when it comes to online presentations and group training in South Africa.

  An updated list of courses he has presented with IDC and EIT is so extensive that it would require a browser adjustment for the reader. All of this translates to a well-versed and adaptable engineer that can at the drop of a pin customize and present select courses to uplift and share the experience with fellow engineers or upskill employees.

• Backyard Roller Coasters and the Engineers That Build Them

  

  Buckle up, because this is going to be a bumpy read, or is that ride?

  The concept behind backyard roller coasters (BYRC) seem innocent enough. Men, women, and budding engineers build roller coasters for themselves in their backyard when they don’t have constant access to theme parks. 

  But the lore of these rides requires almost a deep web dive to find information on how, why, and when these homemade marvels were completed, or even the trial and error that went into constructing them.
