Newswise — Dave Fruehling jams with rock stars in his efforts to create the ultimate electric guitar. John Gage travels the world to connect new technologies and the people that need them. Jim Newman searches the oceans for ancient shipwrecks and their treasures. Lau Kofoed Kierstein plays with toys. Steve Sullivan watches his name roll at the end of hit movies--long before they are in theatres.

Sounds like fun, and indeed it is. For these engineers and five others profiled in the February issue of IEEE Spectrum, fun is a big part of their work. From the drought-parched fields of India to the realm of outer space, these people have followed their dreams to their jobs.
