330   $aEngineering represents an ordered activity of creative design andinventive manufacture of ingenious devices. Its practitioners havethereby stimulated individuals, enlivened communities, enrichedcivilizations, and contributed to the shaping of cultures. The authors of this innovative text develop a systematic framework forengineering in time, making extensive use of adaptive heterogeneousprogressions. When combined with considerations of feedback,feedforward, recursion, and branching, an evolving and comprehensivecharacterization of engineering becomes evident. It is in thisblending of chronolo
