Review
This text will be a great supporting document that will enhance the IED curriculum and reduce the time I spend preparing documents as handouts for my classes. At this point I use no less than 25 to 30 books for daily resource materials. This should significantly reduce the number of text that I will need in my room.This book is the first book that actually fits in my class. I use many, many books to teach IED and this book will save me massive time and energy in preparing for my classes. I cant wait to get this book!--Curt Reichwein, IED Master Teacher, North Penn High School, PA
The textbook is good for an introductory design and engineering course at the high school and community college level. The text will be a wonderful addition to the design community and I look forward to seeing it.--Aaron Clark, North Carolina State University
It will probably become a staple in the classroom in the form as a reference text. --Tom Singer, Affiliate Professor, Sinclair Community College, OH
