Product Description

An experienced civil engineer presents the physics and fundamentals underlying the many fields of engineering. Far from a dry, nuts-and-bolts exposition, 101 Things I Learned in Engineering School uses real-world examples to show how the engineer's way of thinking can illuminate questions from the simple to the profound- Why shouldn't soldiers march across a bridge?

This informative resource will appeal to students, general readers, and even experienced engineers, who will discover within many provocative insights into familiar principles.An experienced civil engineer presents the physics and fundamentals underlying the many fields of engineering.
