Lifelong learning does not simply happen because a person lives or even lives long. The habit of the learning that accompanies the stages of one's life and one's career must be acquired. In this paper the focus is directed to the shrewd, problem-solving intelligence specific to engineering. When they design a project, engineers undertake a set of coordinated activities. They follow a combination of particular protocols so that, for example, dangers are obviated and efficiency attained. Engineers also negotiate their design activities within several ranges of constraints, for example, budgets, timetables, and the limits of materials. In addition, they engage imaginative creativity, because project specificity invites it or because project singularity demands it. 7:28 Lifelong learning requires the extension of curiosity into new areas. Engineers become free for such an extension, if they first recognize their own capacity. To examine the same intelligence deployed in alien settings stimulates such a self-appropriation. If engineers visit an apparently removed context, they may then discover there and, as a consequence, firmly grasp the features of their own intelligence. A first step in recognizing the engineer's problem-solving capacity is a study of "cunning intelligence" in the ancient Greek world. In particular, an examination of the endlessly alert mind of Odysseus can assist the students in self-recognition. At a minimum, Odysseus is a merely moral exemplum that if one fails in lifelong learning, life ends. More fully understood, the myth of Odysseus shrewdness' frees students to initiate their own habit of acquiring knowledge. Many college students are relatively familiar with the mythic figure of Odysseus because they have heard, at least in some form, of his war experiences or his travel adventures. Less familiar, and quite significant for engineers, is the signal, constitutive trait of Odysseus' character as Homer's poems present him. Homer creates Odysseus as repeatedly manifesting "metis." In Greek culture, "metis" as a human trait combines intelligence, trickery and the practice of technology. When early in his travels Odysseus encounters the Cyclopes, the poem makes clear the difference between the mind of the traveler and the world of the giants. The Cyclopes do not know shipbuilding, cannot visit other regions, and do not build cities. (Odyssey 9:125-130) When the Greeks, in order to have a chance to save their lives, destroy the eye of the imprisoning Cyclops, Homer alludes to the technologies of shipbuilding and iron work. 11:16
