Mushtak Al-Atabi mentions the following in the epilogue:
"Although the book is entitled “Think Like an Engineer,” it is essentially about systematic thinking. It deals with engineering from the wider sense of the word, a word that is a synonymous with ingenuity and the ability to come up with creative and innovative solutions to unlock and enhance value. The book is also concerned with the holistic development of individuals and societies and the fulfilment of the human potential.
