Engineering in perspective

Author: Tony Ridley 
ISBN: 978-1786342287 
Price: £40 
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing 

This is a book about having a successful career in engineering, project management and academia.

Ridley's central argument is that engineering is a much broader discipline than the public and profession understands.

He argues that there are three stages of an engineering project, not just design and construction, and that his discipline has the challenge of understanding the most difficult engineering material of all - people.
