Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design Creativity, Engagement and Learning

Professor Samuel has had many years of experience in designing and supervising Design, Make & Test projects for undergraduates, which he has collated and presents in this excellent book.

It is a book that is long overdue and will be welcomed by both engineering students and their academic and industrial mentors. In addition, it will appeal to all those practising design engineers and managers who seldom get the opportunity to revitalize their passion for their chosen profession. We all too frequently get bogged down with the day-to-day tasks concerning administration, budgets and people issues that it is easy to forget some engineering design fundamentals that inspired us to become design engineers.

I strongly recommend this book as essential reading for all engineering design academics, teachers of design and technology in schools and those in industry that are responsible for supervising students undertaking real engineering projects.
