* How on earth could a cathedral be built in a time when there was no math, no science, and no sleep?
* The power of engineering thinking to solve problems even when they are not properly understood.

Bill Hammack, an engineering communicator and passionate engineering professor who promotes the importance of engineering as a liberal arts subject, has published his first book in Korea.
Hae-mak runs a YouTube channel called “engineerguyvideo” with 1.47 million subscribers, where he promotes the appeal of engineering to the public.
In this book, “Life is Engineering,” he encourages us to apply engineering methods to our lives by gaining meaningful insights.
Even if you have never studied engineering or are working in a field far removed from mechanical engineering, the world of engineering is presented in a friendly manner that anyone can easily understand.

This book vividly tells the story of the great and small inventions that have shaped our lives, from cathedrals to soda cans, from the perspective of the engineers who created them to how they actually worked.
It contains stories of people who displayed extraordinary genius and perseverance, such as Nobel Prize winner Francis Arnold and steam turbine inventor Charles Parsons, but it is also full of examples that seem somewhat ridiculous and bizarre by today's standards, such as clocks made from candles and rafts with goatskin air bladders.
It is also worth paying close attention to the fact that it sheds light on the marginalized groups in the world of engineering, such as the female engineer who created the first women's bicycle and engineers of color who were not recorded in history, and reflects on the limitations and possibilities of engineering.
As we follow him and delve into the fascinating secrets behind the creation of inventions, we naturally begin to focus on the mindset of the engineers at the heart of the process.
Throughout history, engineers have created things that never existed before, opening up new worlds through trial and error with limited resources and uncertain circumstances.
That is, regardless of the era or environment, engineering methods always produce solutions.
The author ultimately reminds us that what we really need in this uncertain world, where we must find the best answer every day, is engineering thinking.

This book shows how far humans can change through engineering, how to find our way through unknown situations, and how to cross over to a better world that is currently invisible.
Even if you hate math or find science difficult, there's no need to be afraid.
With this book, anyone can think like an engineer.
And only those who truly understand engineering can make a difference.
