Book Overview
Foundations of Engineering: Developing the Skills and Mindset of a Successful Engineer provides students with a broad overview of the engineering design process, information about student success and career development, and an exploration of the communication skills necessary to be successful in school and beyond.
Chapter 1 introduces students to the steps within the engineering design process with emphasis on the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on setting a path for success in academia and real-world practice. Students consider activities, methods, and relationships that will not only help them in the present, but can help them achieve their future goals and aspirations. They cultivate the tools necessary to effectively begin searching for positions that align with their ideal career trajectories. In the closing chapters, the text examines communication, first with respect to how to find and evaluate information and then how to disseminate that information in both written and oral formats.
Highly practical and designed to provide students with a solid knowledge base, Foundations of Engineering is an exemplary textbook for introductory courses and programs in engineering.
