Note: I accessed digital review copies of this book through NetGalley and Edelweiss. This is a fabulous book about engineers and engineering design. It tells readers that engineers are problem-solvers and then goes into specific types of engineering: aerospace, biochemical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, civil, computer and environmental engineering. I, personally, learned a lot, even thought this is a children's book. I like that Shannon Hunt also included real people ( men and women) who made their discoveries in each field of engineering. Love the book. This book is a higher-level picture book about all the different fields of engineering. It starts by talking about what an engineer is. Engineers are problem solvers. They use their math, science, and technology skills to find creative solution to problems. Then it talks about the engineering design process of define the problem, investigate requirements, develop and compare solutions, create, test and fix, optimize, and share ideas. Then it begins to go into the fields of engineering by giving definitions of each field, real-life stories, and a "team member bio," which discusses someone significant in that field. I would use this in my classroom before each engineering activity we do and read the section that has to do with the activity. For example, I would read the section about civil engineering before we created a suspension bridge out of certain materials. This is a colorfully illustrated and engaging survey about the subject of Engineering. I found this book very interesting but, not as much as my 9 year old. He excels in math and science and loves anything to do with either subject. I love that this book tackles the subject of engineering from problem solving, to process design, to material science. It does all of this with beautiful illustrations with captions and examples within the narrative. Shannon Hunt has a Master's degree from the University of Victoria. I could not discover what that degree was in specifically. But, given my 20 years dealing with science and technology from a Naval perspective, I could find no inaccuracies or inconsistencies. I also love that this book gives equal treatment to women in the field of engineering. There is included an in depth glossary and index both of which passed all my tests for finding words I felt would be appropriate to any discussion of engineering. On the subject of accessibility, the flaps as well as all other features presented make this book at once inviting and accessible to any young reader. Teachers: This would be an excellent book to use in any math or science classroom to help illustrate the importance of your subjects to young students. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"How do you land a car-sized rover on the surface of Mars, resolve a five-hour traffic jam or save a herd of caribou from near extinction? Ask an engineer! Engineers are problem solvers. They use their math, science and technology skills to find creative solutions to problems that need fixing. In Engineered! bestselling author Shannon Hunt explores nine feats of engineering and the step-by-step process that engineers followed to get to a winning solution. The book opens with an illustrated flow chart that explains the engineering design process in seven easy-to-follow steps (e.g., define the problem, identify requirements, build and test a prototype, etc.). Then, these steps are applied to nine real-life engineering stories - each from a different field, such as civil, mechanical or environmental engineering. By following a step-by-step process, engineers are able to come up with some ingenious (and sometimes crazy!) ideas that really work, like building a bridge taller than the Eiffel Tower to fix that five-hour long traffic jam. With direct curriculum applications, and following the guidelines in the Next Generation Science Standards, Engineered! is a must-have for schools, libraries and anywhere a maker space is found!"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
