Designing Engineers - (Inside Technology) by Louis L Bucciarelli (Paperback)

Designing Engineers is a groundbreaking book that delves into the everyday world of engineering, revealing the social process behind the creation of three disparate projects - an x-ray inspection system for airports, a photoprint machine, and a residential photovoltaic energy system.

Through the hallways and meeting rooms of these companies, author Louis Bucciarelli provides a detailed account of how engineers engage in constant negotiation with various stakeholders to design these products.

The book sheds light on the discrepancies between our ideal image of design as an instrumental process and the reality of design as a historically situated social process full of uncertainty and ambiguity.

With its unique approach, Designing Engineers offers valuable insights into the engineering design process and its impact on our daily lives.
