Everyday Engineering: Understanding the Marvels of Daily Life by Stephen Ressler
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 1.03 GB
Overview: When we think about modern engineering and technology, we tend instinctively to think about sophisticated computing devices and other consumer electronics; about jet aircraft and bullet trains; about robots and lasers. But in many ways, the products of modern engineering that have the most substantial influence on our lives are the ones we almost never think about—the everyday technologies that surround us in our homes and workplaces—the infrastructure systems that have been so beautifully integrated into the fabric of modern civilization that they’re practically invisible and are inevitably taken for granted.
In “Everyday Engineering: Understanding the Marvels of Daily Life,” you will explore these everyday technologies—residential construction, water supply, electrical power, heating and air-conditioning, telecommunications, waste disposal, automobiles, and transportation infrastructure. By studying the scientific and engineering concepts underlying these systems, you will be better equipped to appreciate the ingenuity in their design, to employ them optimally, and to recognize the underlying causes of technological failures.
