LEGO(R) bricks meet The Way Things Work in this fun, informative
tour of the world of engineering, from the creative mind of expert
LEGO(R) builder Jeff Friesen.
In The LEGO(R) Engineer, you'll explore how some of humanity's
greatest feats of engineering work, from towering skyscrapers to
powerful rockets to speeding bullet trains. Then follow step-by-step
instructions to build these marvels with LEGO(R) bricks as you
experience the world of engineering in a fun new way.
How do diesel and electric engines work together to drive massive
freight trains? How does a container ship's bow shape contribute to its
fuel efficiency? How do cable-stayed bridges distribute weight
differently than suspension bridges? You'll learn the answers to these
engineering questions and more as you build your way through over 30
models, all designed by LEGO(R) expert Jeff Friesen. Understanding the
engineering principles behind these structures will not only help you
better appreciate the world around you, but will also help you make your
own LEGO(R) builds more realistic.
