Engineered!: Engineering Design at Work by Shannon Hunt

4.0

A longer-lasting battery. A way to quickly generate skin cells for burn victims. A leaking sewer system. People are faced with challenging problems everyday and it's often up to engineers to find solutions. After a brief introduction about engineering, this delightfully illustrated book explores several real world problems and explains how people used the engineering design process to brainstorm, develop, create and test various solutions. The pages are fairly text-heavy, but can be skimmed easily, and the text is supported by tons of graphics. This book would be an excellent resource for classroom teachers who use a STEM curriculum, but will also appeal to curious students who have a mind for science.
