Product Description
This essay demonstrates that good engineering is as much a matter of intuition and nonverbal thinking as of equations and computation. It argues that a system of engineering education that ignores nonverbal thinking will produce engineers who are dangerously ignorant of the many ways in which the real world differs from the mathematical models constructed in academic minds.

Customer Reviews
Re-affirms my own personal phiosophies after 30+ years.
Profesor Ferguson has a wonderful insite into real engineering. His discussion of the slide rule and the computor is right on the mark. One of the most rewarding books I've read in many years.
