Science Lab: Technological Design

Lively text invites readers on a “mission” to explore why different products are designed the way they are, why products change, how engineers design and test new products, and what is the future of technological design. The volume then follows a young protagonist who investigates the logic behind the designs of microwaves, televisions, cell phones, and many other common devices. Color photos are scattered throughout and the learning experience is extended with a glossary, reading list, suggested Web sites, and an index.
