The digital revolution has changed the knowledge’s paradigm and the traditional figure of the “engineer” is therefore obsolete. Computers are no longer tools, but ICT has entered our bodies and has deeply mutated our cognitive performance. Humanities, till today mostly separated from the hard field of engineering and industry, can offer new points of view for creative solutions, in present and future society. In the pages of this book, original paths in the definition of polytechnic culture are analyzed, also on the basis of the most recent experiences, with examples and case studies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 May 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032209177\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e186\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266598588556,"sku":"9783032209177","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032209177_990ad63b-b88c-4a80-8cfd-2b1bd819e4b9.jpg?v=1781060201","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032209177","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
