Well there's a quick easy answer to that one - if the engineers didn't use the results of his work that would mean his whole life was completely pointless (though I suppose that's not something you actually say to a prof). Being from the UK, what exactly is engineering science? Is that what you call engineering over there, or is it engineering lite? I did a 3 year engineering degree (general engineering the first year, gradually specialising in electronic, communications and software). Really enjoyed the maths course in my first year (was slightly surprised to find when I was in my second year I could then help my first year girlfriend who was studying maths with her work). Kind of regret choosing maths as a 3rd year option though, as I found that really tough! Would still like to go back and study for a maths degree though given the chance...
