The Existential Pleasures of Engineering (Thomas Dunne Book)
ISBN: 0312141041 Binding: Paperback Edition: 2nd Author(s): Samuel C. Florman Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Number of Pages: 224
Humans have always sought to change their environmentbuilding houses monuments temples and roads In the process they have remade the fabric of the world into newly functional objects that are also works of art to be admired In this second edition of his popular Existential Pleasures of Engineering Samuel Florman explores how engineers think and feel about their profession
A deeply insightful and refreshingly unique text this book corrects the myth that engineering is cold and passionless Indeed Florman celebrates engineering not only crucial and fundamental but also vital and alive; he views it as a response to some of our deepest impulses an endeavor rich in spiritual and sensual rewards Opposing the "anti-technology" stance Florman gives readers a practical creative and even amusing philosophy of engineering that boasts of pride in his craft
ISBN: 026256078X Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Eugene S. Ferguson Publisher: The MIT Press Number of Pages: 264
The things that engineers design are everywhere and the influence that engineers have on daily life is far out of proportion to their numbers In this expanded version of a remarkable essay published in Science more than a decade ago Eugene Ferguson takes a probing look at the process of engineering design arguing that despite modern technical advances good engineering is still as much a matter of intuition and nonverbal thinking as of equations and computationFerguson who has been successively a mechanical engineer a technical museum curator and a teacher of the history of technology uses examples ranging from the development of the American axe to the collapse of the Hartford Coliseum and the performance of the Hubble space telescope to illustrate the ways in which visual thinking enriches engineering and the ways in which engineering that relies solely on technical sophistication can go wrong He argues that a system of engineering education that ignores this heritage of 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 mindsIn Engineering and the Mind's Eye Ferguson discusses the nature of engineering design and traces the development of visual and other nonverbal thinking offering examples of how engineers and other technologists have used such strategies since the Renaissance Accompanying these examples and demonstrating the ways in which engineers have shared their knowledge is a parallel text of illustrations showing how visual thinking has been expressed over the past five centuries Ferguson concludes his provocative account by arguing that engineering education since 1945 has been skewed toward analytical techniques - which are easiest to teach and evaluate - and away from the art of engineering design as taught by experienced engineersEugene Ferguson is Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Delaware
