About this product

Product Information

In Get a Grip, a young engineer is astonished to be assigned to an experienced team responsible for developing critical automation in the manufacture of smart phones. She travels with the team on a foreign customer visit, participates in creative concept generation, and helps the team through difficult setbacks and technical problems.In The Orbital Mechanic, a solar flare knocks a space probe off course endangering a costly mission. A simple solution comes just in time from an unlikely source to save the spacecraft. In this story, learn how engineers use science, math and physics to get spaceships from Earth out to distant planets and beyond.In Foot Notes, an engineer is faced with the daunting task of inventing a cost effective foot scanner in a short amount of time, driven to search for and consider possible solutions, taking clues from the near and far, the past and present, the people and objects all around. After much effort, old impractical perceptions are pushed aside by new achievable techniques.In Quick Step, an engineering team is required to create a way to make customer arch supports (orthotics) in 30 minutes. They face hurdle after hurdle as they try to find an answer to a fundamental friction problem. In the end, after much frustration, determination and creativity, they stumble onto a completely different yet very elegant approach.In Cutting Edge, a student engineering team wins a bid to develop an automated synthetic diamond cleaning (blasting) machine. They familiarize and immerse themselves in customer needs, write specifications, research similar equipment, brainstorm solutions and evaluate their options. They experience the pain of unforeseen problems and the thrill of success looking externally and internally to find answers to complex questions.In Speed Reader, two engineers have been working hard for weeks to prepare for and demonstrate the capability of their design. On the Friday of their last week of testing, the customer is not fully satisfied, launching the engineers into a last minute creative mode to find a quick and reliable solution, and to save their weekend plans.In The Ribbon Cutting, three engineers work to create a complex system, a cutting machine with a blade that automatically morphs into shapes needed for unique products. Ideas and solutions are found all around them, in their hobbies, in other machines, in books and online. Their specific talents unite as they help each other move their company forward.
