Citizen Engineer

Finally someone considers ethics with engineering & the value af a broad educational background. Should be required reading for engineering students.

Should Be Required Reading for MBA and Engineering Candidates

In a world where eyeballs, clickrates, and IRR often rule the decisionmaking process, the type of thinking presented in Citizen Engineer provides a healthy counterbalance. As the value of intellectual capital increases and the influence of engineering design pervades every aspect of our lives, our collective investment and buy-in to a complete, self-sustaining engineering life cycle becomes essential to our survival. This book crystalizes that message and is peppered with many useful examples. I recommend it highly to students and executives alike - read it now before you greenlight that Thanksgiving helicopter turkey drop (or design the next Kindle)!!
