Elegnano founder, Katrien Herdewyn, is one of sixteen engineers as an author in the newly released book “Problem Solvers: The Paths to Becoming an Engineer.”
The book was created by two American engineers, Dr. Kyle Clark and Dr. Aris Winger, addressing prospective engineers with the question: What does it mean to become and be an engineer? So many schools spend so much time training their students in science and its applications. Check any school's slate of classes and you will observe a heavy emphasis on the engineering sciences, and rightfully so. And yet something is missing: humanity. Becoming an engineer - or becoming anything really - is a human endeavor.
The professional world has spoken, and they say many graduates enter the workforce lacking the fundamental skills to be an engineer. How do we come to understand what those skills are in authentic ways? The book is built on the premise that a profound way to do this is through leveraging the power of stories.
Problem Solvers features sixteen engineers, telling their journeys to becoming the professionals they are today. Compelling, raw, challenging, and ultimately inspiring, these accounts from individuals of a wide variety of backgrounds offer a myriad of lessons on what it takes to become one of the world's premier problem solvers.
"The readers will find themselves coming back to these stories time and again, whether it's to recall how Cyber Security Engineer Nikeem Coleman beat the outrageous odds against him, or how Entrepreneur Katrien Herdewyn turned her engineering degree and skills into a standout fashion company, or how Environmental Engineer Jesse Milliken-Callan faced extreme pressure of the highest degree to come out on the other side."
