Winner, American Society of Engineering Education Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering Division Meritorious Award
"An accessible and very human story of innovators."--Gemma Tarlach, Discover
"Engineers are titans of real-world problem-solving, yetare strangely invisible, notes biomedical engineer Guru Madhavan. In thisriveting study of how they think, he puts behind-the-scenes geniuses such asMargaret Hutchinson, who designed the first penicillin-production plant, centrestage."--Barbara Kiser, Nature
"This thoroughly engaging book demonstrates thatengineering thinking is truly multidisciplinary, multinational, andmulticultural. Through its diverse cast of engineers and wide-ranging examplesof their achievements, Applied Minds leaves little doubt thatour world is a better place because of the engineers who inhabit it."--Henry Petroski, author of To Engineer Is Human and TheEssential Engineer
"Engaging...[and] insightful."--Sybil Derrible , Science
"A real pleasure to read, and lots to learn."--Tim Harford, The Financial Times's UndercoverEconomist and presenter of BBC Radio 4's More or Less
"The heroes of Guru Madhavan's compact book about thelogical habits of engineers are not the usual suspects of the iPhone era. Withbarely a mention of Wozniak or Jobs, the author takes us back to an earliertime so that we can witness the solving of problems that have long since goneaway."--Jon Gertner , Wall StreetJournal
"Anyone trying to interest America's young people intechnical careers should read Applied Minds.... Writing with aliveliness that reflects the energized, creative, problem-solving people hetalks about, Madhavan, a biomedical engineer, presents a completely engagingsurvey of what engineers do--and why you wish you could do it, too."--Nancy Szokan , Washington Post
"In this smart, insightful, and fascinating book, Madhavanshows how engineers turn problems into opportunities. The engineering mind-setis something we should all study and embrace. It applies to every aspect oflife."--Walter Isaacson, author of TheInnovators and Steve Jobs
"An unabashed celebration of engineers and their 'plugand play' thinking tool kit.... Applied Minds is worth sharingwith young engineering students."--Robin Tatu, PrismMagazine, American Society of Engineering Education
"Guru Madhavan not onlydispels any hint of darkness concerning how engineers think, his delightfulbook explains how the designed world of machines and systems interacts with thesocial world in which we use the tools that engineers give us."--Alvin Roth, NobelPrize Winner
