Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-10 00:00:00 David Becker Es un buen libro para utilizar de referencia sobre varios aspectos de la ingeniería más que un libro para leerlo una sola vez. Son esos aspectos importantes con los que los ingenieros no quisieren tener que lidiar, tales como: los aspectos legales, la presentación de informes, cuestiones éticas, normativas, etc (we really just want to make things). Me hubiese gustado mucho más el libro si no se hubiesen enfocado casi todos los ejemplos exclusivamente a la ingeniería civil, de igual forma tiene varios relatos bastante interesantes, como la parte histórica y el accidente del Challenger (el cual también es bastante triste y que me hizo sentir algo culpable por interesarme tanto en la historia por el desarrollo administrativo y técnico que se da para poder realizar cada lanzamiento). PD: que horrible ser un ingeniero civil que se dedica al sector público, no puedes hacer tu trabajo tranquilo, tienen que venir a modificarlo todo el mundo a como mejor le parezca.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-23 00:00:00 Jose Ramirez When I first became a college student, this book was a general introduction to my field. I totally had no idea about engineering written in this text. As a non-native speaker, this book is not written in plain terms and I remembered it that this book was a hard choice and just threw it away. My life have been fluctuated since then and now I became an engineer and tries to be a better one. Just as a refreshment, I picked this book up and finished this time. And I would say if I read this book back when I was a freshmen and understood it, my life would be different now. I don't feel remorse at my fault but I would recommend to read this book who wonder what an engineering is or what engineers are doing.
