Book excerpt: Included on BookBub’s "The Most Exciting Memoirs Coming Out in 2018” list Krishan Bedi came to the United States in December of 1961 at the tender age of twenty. He had only $300 in his pocket, and he had made it out of his small village in India on sheer faith, determined to get education in the US. For him, there was no option but to succeed—so he began his new life in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he had to adapt to the culture shock not only of being in the US but a Punjabi man in the South in the 1960s. Engineering a Life is an examination of Bedi’s life, and how he has handled the plethora of curve balls thrown his way with determination, humor, and an unwavering faith that everything would work out. This is a book about values and faith and the importance of friendship, family, and hard work. It’s a story about achieving the American Dream, proving that no matter how thoroughly you map out your life’s journey, no matter how many blueprints you draw up, when you veer off the course you’ve plotted—as we all do, somehow, in the end—you end up where you’re supposed to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Hooker joined the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1949 and tugged a rather reluctant company into the jet age, determined to give real competition to Rolls-Royce. So successful was he that in 1966 Rolls-Royce decided the best thing to do was to spend ?63.6 million and buy its rival. By this time there was scarcely a single modern British aero-engine for which Hooker had not been responsible.

Download or read book An Engineer Imagines written by Peter Rice and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited reissue of the autobiography of Peter Rice, one of the main structural engineers behind the Sydney Opera House, the Pompidou Centre, the Menil Collection and Lloyd's of London. 'I am an engineer. Often people will call me an 'architect engineer' as a compliment. It is meant to signify a quality of engineer who is more imaginative and design-orientated than a normal engineer... To call an engineer an 'architect engineer' because he comes up with unusual or original solutions is essentially to misunderstand the role of the engineer in society.' An Engineer Imagines is a rare look into the professional creativity and philosophy of Peter Rice, who was widely acclaimed as the greatest structural engineer of his generation. He was a man who, in Renzo Piano's words, could design structures 'like a pianist who can play with his eyes shut'. Working with many of the world's greatest architects on buildings that became icons of contemporary architecture, he brought a uniquely poetic feeling to his work. Joining Ove Arup & Partners in 1956, Rice had heard that 'it was a place where an oddball could fit in.' Taking on Arup's theory of Total Design to heart, Rice writes about the role of the engineer in society, and how he himself applied his creativity to various projects. He admits he became an engineer by accident, tentatively feeling his way through a career without a natural instinct. But as he takes you through each of his projects, one-by-one, you can trace his development from graduate to veteran. Written in clear and poetic language, Rice's autobiography is perfect for those who want to better understand postwar buildings, our concrete environment, or are budding students of engineering and architecture.

Download or read book John Frank Stevens written by Clifford Foust and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of America's foremost civil engineers of the past 150 years, John Frank Stevens was a railway reconnaissance and location engineer whose reputation was made on the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern lines. Self-taught and driven by a bulldog tenacity of purpose, he was hired by Theodore Roosevelt as chief engineer of the Panama Canal, creating a technical achievement far ahead of its time. Stevens also served for more than five years as the head of the US Advisory Commission of Railway Experts to Russia and as a consultant who contributed to many engineering feats, including the control of the Mississippi River after the disastrous floods of 1927 and construction of the Boulder (Hoover) Dam. Drawing on Stevens's surviving personal papers and materials from projects with which he was associated, Clifford Foust offers an illuminating look into the life of an accomplished civil engineer.

Download or read book Von Braun written by Michael Neufeld and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-11-11 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curator and space historian at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum delivers a brilliantly nuanced biography of controversial space pioneer Wernher von Braun. Chief rocket engineer of the Third Reich and one of the fathers of the U.S. space program, Wernher von Braun is a source of consistent fascination. Glorified as a visionary and vilified as a war criminal, he was a man of profound moral complexities, whose intelligence and charisma were coupled with an enormous and, some would say, blinding ambition. Based on new sources, Neufeld's biography delivers a meticulously researched and authoritative portrait of the creator of the V-2 rocket and his times, detailing how he was a man caught between morality and progress, between his dreams of the heavens and the earthbound realities of his life.

Download or read book Engineer written by John Plumb and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-25 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for young people planning for or dreaming of their future. It is a true story of one man's career. The career has been engineering, and the field electrical engineering. The story begins with a small high school in a rural Iowa community and continues through college at Iowa State College (now Iowa State University). The author then began his work in national defense, moved from there to university research and teaching, and finally ended his career in manufacturing. Along the way he earned advanced degrees - M.S. and Ph.D., both in electrical engineering. The book is written with a minimum of technical jargon, with simple mathematical expressions in algebra and with numerous line drawings. A course in high school physics would be helpful but not required for understanding. Engineering is problem solving. In this book, problems were discovered in the testing of gyroscopes for airplane flight control, engine instruments for airplane cockpits, transistor circuits to be taught to electrical engineering students, solid-state light-emitting large-area flat-screens for digital display, integrated circuits on chips of silicon and high-pressure sodium HID lamps using small amounts of or no mercury. My work in electrical engineering took several turns along the way and presented new and interesting problems to solve.
