The Making of an Expert Engineer: How to Have a Wonderful Career Creating a Better World and Spending Lots of Money Belonging to Other People

This book sets out the principles of engineering practice, knowledge that has come to light through more than a decade of research by the author and his students studying engineers at work. Until now, this knowledge has been almost entirely unwritten, passed on invisibly from one generation of engineers to the next, what engineers refer to as “experience”. This is a book for all engineers and engineering managers. It distils the knowledge of many experts in one volume.
