What This Book Has to Offer and How to Get It pROLOGUE What This Book Has to Offer and How to Get It

Purpose of the Prologue Convince you of the potential of this course and the book to make a difference in your life Give you guidance on how to realize that potential

Potential of This Course Compared to a Content-Focused Course

Payoff for Getting the Maximum Potential Available from This Book Develop skills that will enhance your success in engineering study Give you the skills needed to be a successful engineering professional

Mirror Analogy Purpose of a mirror – To see whether you meet a standard you have set for your appearance and make changes based on what you see. Purpose of the book as a mirror – To see your deepest self (values, aspirations, approaches) and make changes based on what you see.

Purpose of This Course and the Book To bring about change in you. (The course and the book have no other value.) Change what? The way you think about things (your attitudes, values, mindsets, world views) The way you go about things (your actions, behaviors)

Grab the Brass Ring! Reasons you might not be ready for what this course has to offer. You’re not paying attention to much of anything. Why would you pay attention to this? You may not believe you can change. You may not want to change. You may not know what to change. You may not know how to change If you get into academic difficulty down the road, come back to the principles in this book. THEY WORK!!

How to Realize the Maximum Potential from This Book Read a portion of the book (sentence, paragraph, section, chapter) and develop answers to the following four questions: What are key ideas contained in what you read? What does what you read mean to you? What questions would you like to ask about what you read? What can you/will you change in your attitudes or behaviors as a result of what you read?

Additional Ways to Get the Most from This Book The Reflections in each chapter End of the chapter Problems Design project – “Design Your Process” (See: Appendix A)

Think-Pair-Share Exercise Take a few minutes to read the “Student Testimonial” on Pages 5-7 of the text Pair up with the person next to you and take turns explaining the following: What the student discussed in his/her testimonial What reading the testimonial meant to you One or two questions you have about what you read Changes you are willing to make based on what you read Be prepared to share what your partner told you with the class.
