How do you like to solve problems?

[Genghis the Engineer]

Problem is, your question is too simplistic.

At the end of the day there are two ways to solve an engineering problem - by analysis or by test. The fact is, most of us will do analysis and when we're happy with that, carry out the test to prove the design (and the analysis) were correct.

Now there are people who will use ONLY test or ONLY analysis, but both are rarities and often regarded with suspicion (particularly those who think analysis can prove everything) by the rest of the profession.
