"It's terrific. This new book does an outstanding job of filling in the knowledge of topics that simply aren't touched upon. . . . This is exactly the sort of book that engineers should read and discuss."
-John L. Hennessy, president, Stanford University
"Citizen Engineer is the bible for the new era of socially responsible engineering. All engineers concerned with the impact of their work must read this book."
-Hal Abelson, professor of computer science and engineering, MIT
"This accessible and brilliant book should be required of every citizen, and especially, the new citizen lawmakers we call engineers."
-Lawrence Lessig, professor, Stanford Law School, and founder, Creative Commons
Being an engineer today means being far more than an engineer. You need to consider not only the design requirements of your projects but the full impact of your work-from an ecological perspective, an intellectual property perspective, a business perspective, and a sociological perspective. And you must coordinate your efforts with many other engineers, sometimes hundreds of them. In short, we've entered an age that demands socially responsible engineering on a whole new scale: The era of the Citizen Engineer.
This engaging and thought-provoking book, written by computer industry luminaries Greg Papadopoulos and David Douglas, focuses on two topics that are becoming vitally important in the day-to-day work of engineers today: eco engineering and intellectual property (IP). Citizen Engineer also examines how and why the world of engineering has changed, and provides practical advice to help engineers of all types master the new era of engineering and start thinking like Citizen Engineers.
With more than 20 years experience in the technology industry, Greg Papadopoulos has held several executive positions, most recently serving as Chief Technology Office and Executive Vice President - Research and Development at Sun Microsystems, Inc., responsible for managing Sun's technology decisions, global engineering architecture and advanced development programs. Prior to Sun, Papadopoulos was Senior Architect at Thinking Machines and has also founded a number of his own companies.
Papadopoulos was an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, where he conducted research in scalable systems, multi threaded/data flow processor architecture, functional and declarative languages, and fault-tolerant computing. He holds a bachelor's degree in systems science from the University of California at San Diego , as well as
Papadopoulos resides in Los Gatos , California with his wife Laurie and has passions for cooking, wine and eco-responsible living.
