A good engineer solves the problem as per the specification. A great engineer
solves the problem with minimal resources( ingenuity) and in addition
eliminates most of the negative side effects ( cost, environment, waste etc.).

As an example: How do you manage traffic on a very busy intersection that

has many entry and exits?

Good Engineer: Deploy state of art sensor-based traffic lights on each of

junctions

Great Engineer: Build a roundabout
