This engaging book provides an overview of the basic engineering principles that shape our modern world, covering key concepts within a flexible, two-part format.
If the wire in Figure A is stretched from 1.00 m to 1.01 m in length, what is the strain of the wire? 3. In Figure B, when a block of metal 1.00 m on a side is placed on a metal plate 1.00 m on a side, the stress on the plate is 1.00 Â ...
The book is conveniently divided into two major sections. The first, an introduction to engineering, begins with a description and breakdown of the enginering profession. Material concerning most disciplines in...
Introduces conceptual design methods and project management tools through description, example, and case study. Two design projects are consistently drawn upon to illustrate the design methods and management tools. Also...
The book contains 20 chapters that cover many of the topics that first year engineering students should begin to understand.
B.E.S.T. (Basic Engineering Series and Tools) consists of modularized textbooks offering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be covered in an introductory engineering course. All the texts boast distinguished...
Designing engineering products technical systems and/or transformation processes requires a range of information, know-how, experience, and engineering analysis, to find an optimal solution.
B.E.S.T. (Basic Engineering Series and Tools) consists of modularized textbooks offering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be covered in an introductory engineering course.
This can be achieved through a general Design Science, a knowledge system in which products are seen as objects to be developed within engineering design processes.
The comprehensive coverage of this text makes it invaluable to all undergraduates requiring a firm foundation in the subject.
