### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best considered a collection of 101 loosely-related interesting factoids
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2016*

To be honest, it's very unlikely you learned all of these things in Engineering school. That's because Engineering is a broad subject, with fields ranging from Civil Engineering to Mechanical Engineering to Electrical Engineering to Petroleum Engineering to ... you get the drift.I note this because this book is really more of a collection of 101 interesting facts about selected engineering fields, along with some slightly tangential material. For example, item #84 "An Electric Current Only Works if it can Return to its Source" is the only one directly pertaining to my field of Electrical Engineering. Civil and Mechanical Engineering are the fields that get the bulk of the 101 items, and its doubtful if any Electrical Engineer learned in school item #57, "Keep One Leg Still", which basically states that to level a surveying tripod only two of the legs should be adjusted while the third remains untouched, or item #44, "Concrete and Cement are Different Things". And then there's stuff that is just out there, like item #91 "Random Hypothesis #2", which notes that there are three kinds of people in the world: language people, people people, and object people, and engineers tend to be the 'object people' type. Useful information if you've never seen the Big Bang Theory on TV, I suppose.In my opinion the '101 Things I Learned ..." books are better for those who **didn't** study a particular field. I also have the Architecture book, and learned a lot more from that book because I knew very little about the practice of Architecture going in. However, none of these 101 books are really all that practical. The items are usually interesting, but so scattered about that they're mostly useless as any kind of reference. For example, item 58 "How to Read a Topographic Plan" and item 77 "Stop a Crack by Rounding It Off" both impart useful information about topographic maps and cracks respectively, but this isn't likely to be your go-to book if you're working with either topo maps or cracks. This book is fun to read once, and then best passed on to someone else, or donated to a school library.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    very useful
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2022*

Easy to digest in puny bites. Good spectrum of the fields. Anyone can read this, everyone should read this. I’m going to check the other books in this series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Should actually be called "(...) in Civil Engineering School"
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2020*

Great read, I would totally recommend it for anyone interested in engineering.The main issue I have with it is that it should better be called "101 Things I Learned in *Civil* Engineering school". Most of the concepts discussed (70-80%) are only about civil engineering and are thus not very generalizable to other areas.
