by Michael J. McGinnis (Author)
The t-Shaped Engineer in the Age of AI is a story-driven call to reimagine engineering education--not merely as technical training, but as formation for human flourishing. Through vivid personal narratives, theological reflection, and pedagogical insight, this book explores what kind of engineers we are forming in a world shaped by artificial intelligence.
At its heart is the t-shaped engineer--a framework integrating technical depth, relational breadth, and Christ-centered purpose. Drawing on classroom stories, survey research, and practical strategies, the book offers Christian institutions a path forward: not resisting AI, but engaging it with theological wisdom and pedagogical clarity.
Written for educators, students, and institutional leaders, this is a practical guide for whole-person formation in the digital age--equipping Christian universities to respond to AI not with fear, but with wisdom, courage, and love.
