Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Engineering and philosophy seem two worlds apart. But things and ideas are not disjunct in this world, and their synthesis is certainly essential in engineering design. In this book, Engineering Philosophy, author Louis Bucciarelli explores how the concerns of philosophers are relevant to engineering thought and practice — in negotiating tradeofs, in diagnosing failure, in constructing adequate models and simulations, and in teaching.
Engineering Philosophy is based on a number of lectures given at the Technical University of Delft, where the author was a Visiting Professor.
