Special contributors to the new eBook include Bob Martin, "Wizard of Make" and Senior Staff Engineer at Microchip Technology; Josh Lifton, Ph.D. graduate of the MIT Media Lab and co-founder and president of Crowd Supply; and Dr. Andy Stanford-Clark, CTO of IBM in UK and Ireland.

"The road from idea to product can be arduous and filled with obstacles, but new technologies are opening up new and quicker paths," said Kevin Hess, Senior Vice President, Marketing at Mouser Electronics. "The Engineering Big Ideas series begins with a look at how innovators develop their concepts and where they go from there."
Mouser recently launched the Engineering Big Ideas series with a video that followed celebrity engineer Grant Imahara as he visited the Arizona test track of Nikola Motor Company. There, he spoke with CEO Trevor Milton about how Nikola Motor Company is bringing its vision for hybrid truck design to market, and revolutionizing the economic and environmental impact of commerce in the process.
