About this title

Synopsis:

Engineers conceive, design, implement, and operate (CDIO). ‘Think Like an Engineer’ presents CDIO and systematic thinking as a way to achieve the human potential. It explores how we think, feel and learn, and uses the latest brain research findings to help us unlock value and have a balanced life. The practical, easy to follow exercises given in the book can be used by individuals to improve their thinking and learning and by educators to empower their students to thrive for success.

From the Back Cover:

 The challenges of the 21st century will require a whole new kind of engineer: engineers who can both design complex technical systems and appreciate their interaction with society; engineers who possess both analytical intelligence and emotional intelligence; engineers who can work with others, take risks, and learn from failure.  Al-Atabi's text provides engineering students with a thoughtful roadmap to grow and develop as this kind of engineer; students and faculty alike will benefit from his insights.

This book provides a thoughtful connection between a hallmark engineering approach and the psychology of human decision making. Using practical tips, summaries of important studies, and personal anecdotes, 'Thinking Like an Engineer' links relevant contemporary learning research to CDIO. This is a great resource for those interested in blending engineering thinking, global competence, emotional intelligence, and empathetic design.

There are many books that talk about success and how to achieve it. What Prof. Mushtak has brought forward in this book is a unique view of how engineers think and what makes engineers successful. In summary, it was never more than following your passion relentlessly.  I've always been a great fan of Prof. Mushtak and I'm absolutely pleased that he has taken this mammoth effort of documenting his lifelong journey of discovering what makes engineers tick.

Engineers are known as problem-solvers. They apply science and maths to solve problems creatively. Mushtak Al-Atabi has captured the essence of engineering and made engineers more human by linking the brain and emotional intelligence. This well-written book provides coverage of a number of important issues and techniques not commonly covered in most introductory engineering textbooks. It would benefit both engineers and non-engineers to read it as it may help them solve problems or develop opportunities in the real world.
