Focusing on the often-overlooked non-technical aspects of engineering, this book distills over a decade of research into practical principles that enhance engineering practice. It addresses the gap between technical knowledge and organizational behavior, emphasizing that these dimensions are interconnected in an engineer's daily work. By compiling insights from numerous experts, the book aims to enrich engineers' careers and improve outcomes for employers and clients. Written in an accessible style, it serves as a vital resource for all engineers seeking to bridge this knowledge gap.

This book explains engineering practice, what engineers actually do in their work. The first part explains how to find paid engineering work and prepare for an engineering career. The second part explains the fundamentals of engineering practice, including how to gain access to technical knowledge, how to gain the willing collaboration of other people to make things happen, and how to work safely in hazardous environments. Other chapters explain engineering aspects of project management missed in most courses, how to create commercial value from engineering work and estimate costs, and how to navigate cultural complexities successfully. Later chapters provide guidance on sustainability, time management and avoiding the most common frustrations encountered by engineers at work. This book has been written for engineering students, graduates and novice engineers. Supervisors, mentors and human resources professionals will also find the book helpful to guide early-career engineers and assess their progress. Engineering schools will find the book helpful to help students prepare for professional internships and also for creating authentic practice and assessment exercises.

30-second Engineering outlines the different fields and methods of engineering, the ingenuity of its engineers and how this science will help shape our future.

This is the sixth in the series of the Emma Press Picks, which are short, themed and illustrated poetry pamphlets. These are poems themed around minor characters from action movies.

Technik in 30 Sekunden behandelt die Methoden und Errungenschaften wichtiger Bereiche des Ingenieurwesens wie Bau, Maschinenbau, Chemie, Werkstoffe, Elektrotechnik und Elektronik. Leicht verständliche Texte führen die Leser in die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen des Ingenieurwesens ein und berichten davon, wie Ingenieure mit modernster Technik unsere Infrastruktur umgestalten und neue Verkehrs- und Produktionsmittel entwickeln. Auf je einer Doppelseite werden in Wort und Bild die Innovationen vorgestellt, die das Leben der Menschen grundlegend verändert haben und es immer noch tun.
