Ducommun Professor of Education Emeritus, Stanford University. Holistic Engineering Education: Beyond Technology is a compilation of coordinated and focused essays from world leaders in the engineering profession who are dedicated to a transformation of engineering education and practice. The goal of this book is to inspire, lead, and guide this critically needed transformation of engineering education. Following the National Academy’s report on the Engineer of 2020, this book brings together experts who make the case for an engineering profession that looks beyond developing just cool technologies and more into creating solutions that can address important problems to benefit real people."-- Linda Katehi, Chancellor, University of California at Davis"This superb volume offers a provocative portrait of the exciting future of engineering education…A dramatically new form of engineering education is needed that recognizes this field as a liberal art, as a profession that combines equal parts technical rigor and creative design…The authors challenge the next generation to engineering educators to imagine, think and act in new ways. The contributors define a new and holistic approach to education and practice that captures the creativity, interdisciplinarity, complexity, and adaptability required for the profession to grow and truly serve global needs. While this educational paradigm has served engineering
It is inspiring, and practical, and it is easy to see why it has inspired so many other practitioners and authors.This work is probably not necessary unless you are interested in the history of the concept though. Overall, the contents are OK.. Textuality is another focus of Sullivan's work: here what is meant is the discursive nature of subjectivity. Very well organized so you can easily find specific subjects you are looking for. It is hell to go pick up a 12 year old from the hospital who finally has received help. The plans are above average to vey good. Helped me pass the class, easy to read.. Walt weaves compelling city and police department history, policies then and now, their affects and effects, with the drama of the biggest shoot-out in Dallas history. Book came in in great condition. This book had good information, however, it had the most spelling and grammatical errors I have ever seen. (I take it occasionally now. Naturopthy is a "system of medicine that utilizes natural substances, forces, and methods t47 (10), June, 2010) . … The work is best suited for those in higher education concerned with the revision of engineering curricula. From the reviews: “This compilation of 19 essays by different authors (mostly academics and a few from industry) adds to the ever-expanding volume of literature that is critical of the standard technical-intensive engineering education. Summing Up: Recommended. Darby, Choice, Vol. Academic libraries serving researchers and faculty.” (R
