Zusammenfassung

The Thinker’s Guide to Engineering Reasoningapplies critical thinking concepts to the field of engineering. Students and professionals across engineering will find their analytical abilities enhanced by the engaging authoritative framework set forth by Richard Paul and Linda Elder.

For engineers to properly reason through engineering projects requires strong analytic skills. The best engineers are clear about their purposes, gather sufficient information, and develop innovations. This requires critical reasoning and this guide offers tools essential to this process.

As part of the Thinker’s Guide Library, this book advances the mission of the Foundation for Critical Thinking to promote fairminded critical societies through cultivating essential intellectual abilities and virtues within every field of study across the world.
