The book is about bridging the huge gaps between what engineers
know, what they do and why things go wrong. It puts engineering
into a wider perspective so readers can see how it relates to other
disciplines - especially science and technology. Many intellectuals
have dismissed engineering as 'applied science', but this book
shows how wrong it is to do so - engineers apply science, but their
purpose is quite different.It takes the reader on a learning
journey of reflections on the gaps between theory and practice in
professional life - not just in engineering but across all
disciplines. The learning is summarized through 20 learning points
or lessons, each one placed in context. Some of the important
lessons are about learning from failure, joining-up theory and
practice, understanding process, classifying uncertainty, managing
risks, finding resilience, thinking systems to improve performance
and nurturing practical wisdom.
