Overview
Today's engineers are creating ever-evolving technology to solve our energy crisis.
This book explores the engineering evolution in our need for energy, from past to present, and the potential engineering transformations of the future. It uncovers how the great engineering minds of early civilizations invented technology to harness Earth’s natural resources, and how that technology has since evolved into the solar panels, wind turbines, and water-powered engineering we see today.
The story of sourcing energy from building the first fire through creating solar panels is revealed. Big breakthroughs in engineering are explored along with engineering evolutions, such as the development in engineering from the first windmill to the modern wind turbine. And the evolution in energy engineering at each stage in human history is discussed, revealing how modern engineering has often been inspired by past discoveries.
The book concludes by showing readers the many exciting careers available in energy engineering, and how they can join its evolution to become the engineering greats of the future.
