While the study of the engineering method is important to create the world we would have, its study is equally important to understand the world we do have.'Billy V. Koen, Introduction, Discussion of the MethodDiscussion of the Method outlines the heuristicbased reasoning used by engineers and generalizes it to a universal method for problemsolving. Delving into the connection between engineering and philosophy, this groundbreaking text illustrates how the theoretical and the practical can merge to form realworld solutions. Furthermore, the methodology covered in this innovative book is extremely userfriendly, and easily synthesized with individual approaches to problemsolving. Discussion of the Method is an ideal supplement for introductory and advanced courses in engineering, philosophy, and other disciplines, as well as a compelling read for general audiences.THE METHOD: AN OVERVIEWBLPart I describes the problem situation that calls for the talents of the engineer and emphasizes how frequently this situation is encountered.BLPart II defines the heuristic and the engineering method.BLPart III lists examples of heuristics and techniques used to implement the engineering method, describes several alternative definitions of the engineering method, and renders the method in its final form.BLPart IV generalizes the engineering method to a universal method.BLPart V gives a concise, justifiable statement of universal method.BLPart VI delivers a specific example of the universal method in use.
