It hopes to serve as a 'sharp radiography' of current practices, being neither the ultimate diagnosis nor a prognosis. It is a reference, a starting point for the kind of questioning and dialectic that makes engineering design such a uniquely fascinating, challenging and rewarding human endeavour UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=683305 ER -
