Providing students with a commonsense approach to the solution of engineering problems and packed full of practical case studies to illustrate the role of the engineer, the type of work involved and the methodologies employed in engineering practice, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the scope and nature of engineering. It outlines a conceptual framework for undertaking engineering projects then provides a range of techniques and tools for solving the sorts of problems that commonly arise. Focusing in particular on civil engineering design, problem solving, and the range of techniques and tools it employs, the authors also explore: creativity and problem solving, social and environmental issues, management, communications and law, and ethics the planning, design, modelling and analysis phases and the implementation or construction phase. Designed specifically for introductory courses on undergraduate engineering programs, this extensively revised and extended second edition is an invaluable resource for all new engineering undergraduates as well as non-specialist readers who are seeking information on the nature of engineering work and how it is carried out.

Are you considering a College Major in Engineering, but wondering whether and how to plan for a successful career? Dan Heflin is here to help, with perspectives and guidance gained from 65 years of experience. Having entered the Marine field as a wide-eyed novice, he knows how valuable it was to have the mentorship and tutelage of veteran tradesmen, designers, managers, and engineers—which eventually resulted in promotion to Director of Engineering Services. After retirement from the shipyard, he and a uniquely qualified veteran naval architect formed an independent consulting company, offering services across a wide range of technical and management issues, which further broadened his experiences well beyond design and manufacturing. If this level of engagement and challenge sounds exciting, then this is the book for you! Both pragmatic and encouraging, Dan asks the aspiring engineer to examine personal characteristics such as depth of curiosity, tenacity, patience, aptitude for mathematics, concentration, and the ability to prioritize. Unique characteristics of different fields of engineering are reviewed, and Dan stresses the importance of sophomores and juniors reviewing their experiences to date, to confirm or change the chosen field of specialization. Dan draws upon decades of personal experience to maximize benefits and minimize disappointments in college, employment, and beyond.

The vitality of the innovation economy in the United States depends on the availability of a highly educated technical workforce. A key component of this workforce consists of engineers, engineering technicians, and engineering technologists. However, unlike the much better-known field of engineering, engineering technology (ET) is unfamiliar to most Americans and goes unmentioned in most policy discussions about the US technical workforce. Engineering Technology Education in the United States seeks to shed light on the status, role, and needs of ET education in the United States.
