ENGINEERED!

ENGINEERING DESIGN AT WORK

WRITTEN BY SHANNON HUNT

ILLUSTRATED BY JAMES GULLIVER HANCOCK

How do you land a rover on Mars, resolve a perpetual traffic jam or save a herd of caribou from potential extinction? Ask an engineer! Author Shannon Hunt presents nine real-life problems for which engineers designed inventive (and even crazy!) solutions. Each was solved using a different field of engineering, from aerospace and mechanical to the new field of geomatics. This terrific introduction to some fascinating practical applications of engineering is sure to inspire the natural engineer in every child.
