Synopsis
In this expanded version of his famous essay "The Mind's Eye: Nonverbal Thought in Technology" ( Science , 1977), historian of technology Ferguson explores the process of engineering design, arguing that, despite modern technical advances, good engineering is still as much a matter of intuition and nonverbal thinking as of equations and computation.
