Críticas:

"Thinking Like an Engineer is excellent in its emphasis on student mastery of the topics and active learning and it is a great introduction to the analytical skills that are important in engineering. I am very much an advocate for active learning and the earlier we introduce students to this method the better for their learning." Andrew Lau, PENN STATE UNIVERSITY "The ICA (In-Class Activities) are a really nice feature...this takes the lecture part of a class away for the most part and allows the instructor to let students do things in class...keeping them engaged and active." Christopher Rowe, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY "I agree very strongly with the authors' point of view that students learning should be self-driven as much as possible and doing work in class and reporting back on results is a very effective way of accomplishing this." Mario Gomes, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY "The text definitely focuses on having the students practice with the material through the ICAs (In-Class Activities). The importance of students doing these kinds of activities in the classroom with an instructor to guide them cannot be overstated. This book uses the same student-centered approach that I strive to use in my own classes." Elliot Douglas, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA "Thinking Like an Engineer is truly one-stop shopping for an introduction to the wonderful and diverse world that is engineering." Howard M. Fulmer, VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
