Far from a dry, nuts-and-bolts exposition, however, 101 THINGS I LEARNED® IN ENGINEERING SCHOOL probes real-world examples to show how the engineer's way of thinking can-and sometimes cannot-inform our understanding of how things work. Questions from the simple to the profound are illuminated throughout: Why shouldn't soldiers march across a bridge? Why do buildings want to float and cars want to fly? What is the difference between thinking systemically and thinking systematically? How can engineering solutions sympathize with the natural environment? Presented in the familiar, illustrated format of the popular 101 THINGS I LEARNED® series, 101 THINGS I LEARNED® IN ENGINEERING SCHOOL offers an informative resource for students, general readers, and even experienced engineers, who will discover within many provocative new insights into familiar principles. Review: Outstanding Book!!! - I've been collecting these "101 Things I Learned In"... series of books and they're fantastic. As the Kindle editions are being released the price is jumping up to over $32.00 each! This week I am absorbing the Engineering and Architecture editions. I am a technical illustrator by trade and these books definately give me a leg up when holding my own among colleagues and clients...and they're just plain fun to read. Technical information presented in laymen's terms. Publisher, please keep them coming. I finished the Film School book in this series and I will forever view movies from perspectives I had never considered. Review: Book should be bought for the "Engineering family tree" graph alone - This is a fascinating book and should be bought for the "Engineering family tree" graph on the page (no number) next to page one. This graph covers time from 3000 BCE to 2000CE regarding Physics, Chemistry and Biology; for subject matters of; (all of Engineering): Civil Military Mechanical Electrical Materials Environmental Chemical Aero-space Computer Nuclear Biochemical Biomedical. So we see that everything including and after "Chemical" took place in the Twentieth-Century, in the last one hundred plus years, out of the approximately 4,900 years on the graph before it. Wow! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,830,355 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #126 in Engineering Reference (Books) #8,718 in Job Hunting & Careers | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 325 Reviews | ## Images ![101 Things I Learned in Engineering School - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hErAnzomL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Book!!! *by L***T on February 11, 2014* I've been collecting these "101 Things I Learned In"... series of books and they're fantastic.

Wow! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by V***L on March 25, 2020* I expected something different from this book, I suppose there are so many branches in the engineering field that the book tries to cover a little bit of everything. However, it contains important and interesting facts/information that can be very valuable for young people interested in studying or beginning studies of engineering.
