Let's find out. Engineering

Introduces young readers to the job of a civil engineer. Also explains how and why some famous engineering structures around the world were built such as the English Channel Tunnel, the Hoover Dam, and the Panama Canal.

A fantastic introduction to a world many young people—and people in general—seldom consider: how transportation engineers help to ensure people and materials move smoothly throughout our complex world. Readers are introduced to real-world problems and their engineering solutions. Lively, informative, and age-accessible language is augmented with highlighted vocabulary terms, important points to think about, items to compare and contrast, and a final, interactive exercise that brings home important concepts to the reader. This book is great for students with an interest in how trains, bikes, roads, and even natural resource pipelines work.

Without electrical engineers, the world we live in would look very different. Telephones (both landlines and cell phones), televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, video games, and many other aspects of our modern world were made possible by the advances of electrical engineering.

Teaches readers what chemical engineering is and why it's so important in our daily lives, such as enabling solar panels to promote green energy and the creation of consumer products such as Post-It notes. Readers also learn how chemical engineering has helped in medicine, such as by advancing prosthetics.

Introduces readers to the importance of agricultural engineering, explaining the ways that agricultural engineers are making a difference in the world and emphasizing the variety of work available in this field. Readers will learn about new and industrious ways engineering can be used to create better seeds and crops, to work with animals, to harness renewable energy, and much more.

Planes, trains, and automobiles—these are just some of the many achievements of mechanical engineering. This volume will show readers that they do not have to know complex equations to appreciate the impact the field has had on the world. Introduces young readers to the machines and engines that power the devices, vehicles, and appliances they encounter on a daily basis.

Explores the ways electrical engineering is used in daily life from the invention of the light bulb to the use of technology in the field of medicine. Includes a science activity, a glossary, resources for further information, and color photographs.

"Readers learn how green engineers cut down on waste and the use of natural resources by inventing new materials and techniques. This resource covers recycling, reuse, and renewable energy sources and explains global warming and greenhouse gases and their effects on Earths environment.--Amazon.
