Zoom in on Engineering
Focusing on the infrastructure that helps us get things
done, this series exposes readers to the inner-workings of how we get from point
A to point B and how we move things around (such as electricity, supplies, and
water). It supports the Next Generation Science Standards by discussing how each
system or structure was developed to solve a problem and improve people’s lives
as well as how it has changed over time. Each chapter will focus on one
important element of the engineering topic, including inventors, advances in
technology, its history, and its greater purpose in society today.
