第二篇 Nonverbal Thinking in Engineering
Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science．However,their form and tunctlon，their dimensions and appearance，were determined by technologists．designers．
inventors，and engineers using nonscientific modes of thought．Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot be reduced to clear verbal descriptions；they are dealt with in the mind by a visual，nonverbal process．Pyramids，cathedrals，and rockets exist not
because of geometry or thermo-dynamics(熱動力學)，but because they were first the picture in the minds of those who built them．
The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact (人工制品) that exists．For example，in designing a diesel engine ，a technologist might express individual(個人的)ways of nonoerbal，thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive (直覺的)sense of rightness and fitness．What would be the shape of the combustion chamber (燃燒室)?Where should the valves(閥)be placed?Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience，by physical requirement，by limitations of available space．a(chǎn)nd not in the least by a sense of form．Some decisions，such as wall thickness and pin diameter,may depend on scientific calculations，but the nonscientific component design remains primary．
Design courses，then，should be an essential element of engineering curricula．Nonverbal thinking，a central mechanism in engineering design，involves perceptions，which is the special
techmque of the artist，not the scientist．Because perceptive processes are not assumed to need"hard thinking"，nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal mathematical thought．
