Description
Providing comprehensive coverage of the nontechnical aspects of engineering, this book is designed for easy self-study by the graduate engineer and allows for personal growth of all engineering students. It provides a presentation of the personal and professional skills needed by the successful engineer, covering areas such as decision analysis, management, technical communication and the legal and ethical aspects of engineering. Presented from an engineer's perspective, the material is divided into two areas - self understanding and interacting with colleagues; and optimizing within physical and socioeconomic constraints. The text builds on fundamentals common to many nontechnical areas and aims to give the reader the capability to logically approach problems. Each chapter features review questions and problems along with a chapter summary. Also available is a solutions manual (0-07-034024-2).
