It was apparent that both the author and his associates were getting into much more trouble by violating the unwritten laws of professional conduct than by committing technical sins against the well-documented laws of science. Since the former appeared to be indeed unwritten at that time, as regards any adequate and convenient text, the following "laws" were originally formulated and collected into a sort of scrapbook, to provide a set of "house rules", or a professional code, for a design-engineering section of a large manufacturing organization. Although they are admittedly fragmentary and incomplete, they are offered here for whatever they may be worth to younger men just starting their careers, and to older men who know these things perfectly well but who all too often fail to apply them in practice. Just a few points should be emphasized: None of these "laws" is theoretical or imaginary, and however obvious and trite they may appear, their repeated violation is responsible for much of the frustration and embarrassment to which engineers everywhere are liable. In fact this audiobook is primarily a record, derived from direct observation over a period of 17 years, of the experience of four engineering departments, three of them newly organized and struggling to establish themselves by the trial-and-error method. It has, however, been supplemented and confirmed by the experience of others as gathered from numerous discussions, lectures, and the literature, so that it most emphatically does not reflect the unique experience or characteristics of any one organization. Furthermore, many of these rules are generalizations to which exceptions will occur in special circumstances. There is no thought of urging a slavish adherence to rules and red tape, for there is no substitute for judgment, and at times vigorous individual initiative is needed to cut through formalities in an emergency. But in many respects these laws are like the basic laws of society; they cannot be violated too often with impunity, notwithstanding striking exceptions in individual cases.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3154311</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3154311</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, W.

Ask an engineer! Engineers are problem solvers. They use their math, science and technology skills to find creative solutions to problems that need fixing. In Engineered! bestselling author Shannon Hunt explores nine feats of engineering and the step-by-step process that engineers followed to get to a winning solution. The book opens with an illustrated flow chart that explains the engineering design process in seven easy-to-follow steps (e.g., define the problem, identify requirements, build and test a prototype, etc.). Then, these steps are applied to nine real-life engineering stories - each from a different field, such as civil, mechanical or environmental engineering. By following a step-by-step process, engineers are able to come up with some ingenious (and sometimes crazy!) ideas that really work, like building a bridge taller than the Eiffel Tower to fix that five-hour long traffic jam. With direct curriculum applications, and following the guidelines in the Next Generation Science Standards, Engineered! is a must-have for schools, libraries and anywhere a maker space is found!"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2768729</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2768729</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hunt, Shannon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2768729133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Engineering Design at Work</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771385602/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Secrets of Successful Inventing]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1980360</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1980360</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1980360133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780757004070/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expert Resumes for Engineers]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1601036</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1601036</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Enelow, Wendy S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1601036133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781593575717/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Careers in Engineering]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1573998</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1573998</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Garner, Geraldine O.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1573998133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780071545556/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Jobs for Engineering Majors]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1553313</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1553313</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Garner, Geraldine O.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1553313133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780071493147/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real-resumes for Engineering Jobs]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1456003</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1456003</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1456003133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Including Real Resumes Used to Change Careers and Resumes Used to Gain Federal Employment</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781885288424/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Electricians]]></title><description><![CDATA["Electricity is a crucial part of our day-to-day life, but working with it can be a dangerous job.

We are starting to see the first real progress in space exploration in the private sector, and there are many jobs becoming available, right now, in this fascinating new field. Now that companies are set to take both professional astronauts and well-trained passengers into space as early as summer of 2021, this book will prepare you to take your place, whether as an investor, owner, employee, or enthusiast, in the exciting world of space exploration. Readers will: - Receive a comprehensive listing of the careers and skillsets that are in demand and will be in demand over the coming years in space exploration. - Access stories, company profiles, and even the technical descriptions spotlighting information that is relevant today and over the next few decades. - Gain insights into the world of space exploration, its characters, and the real opportunities that are within anyone's grasp if they want it badly enough. Sierra Nevada, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and Bigelow Aerospace built prototypes of deep-space habitats that NASA began testing in March 2019, so the physical evidence exists that human beings are committed to living in space for purposes of research, as well as industrial pursuits such as mining. There will also be opportunities in harnessing huge amounts of energy from the sun using Earth orbiting solar power satellites; designing new forms of space transportation; and construction of facilities for refueling stations for rockets, processing minerals from near Earth asteroids, and building new spaceships and space habitats. The new space race is on!]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3140348</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3140348</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Browne, Alastair Storm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3140348133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Exploring the Universe of Opportunities in the Space Industries</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781400220908/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Become An Electrician]]></title><description><![CDATA["Describes careers as an electrician, the training needed, and career outlooks"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3079546</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3079546</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Conley, Kate A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3079546133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781678200121/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be An Electrician]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our homes, businesses, and other buildings would not exist without the expert craftsmanship of dedicated trade workers.
