Through the assessment of problems, the application of scientific concepts, and some manipulation of numbers, this book
allows students to obtain a glimpse of the personal satisfaction experienced by professional engineers as they create new and better things. There are no post-high school prerequisites required for the text; it has been used by entering freshmen with math backgrounds that range from remedial algebra to one or two quarters of calculus. The book will also allow a professor from any engineering department to teach a variety of basic engineering concepts. A solutions manual is available to
qualified instructors. |
