Gr 4-6-Showcasing six distinct branches of engineering, this descriptive set introduces students to the discipline in straightforward, concise language. Each information-packed book defines the field, exploring its history, current developments, and future directions, giving readers a greater understanding of the profession. Every page of text is followed by a page of photos or other images, providing readers with information for different learning styles. The subject matter is fresh and contemporary, and the design of the books, from the use of shades of blue to the inclusion of graphic organizers, is crisp and appealing. VERDICT An excellent addition to school and public libraries, especially those with growing STEM collections.
