EXPLORING ENGINEERING: AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

Engineers solve problems,ÿand work onÿemerging challenges inÿa wide range of areas important to improving quality of life; areas likeÿsustainable energy, access to clean water, andÿimproved communications and health care technologies.ÿ Kosky et. al. explore the world of engineering by introducing the reader to what engineers do, the fundamental principles that form the basis of their work, and how they apply that knowledgeÿwithin a structured design process.ÿÿThe three part organization of the text reinforces theseÿareas, making this an ideal introduction for anyone interested in exploring the various fields of engineering and learning how engineers work to solve problems.
