Post Description

AN INTRODUCTION TO MECHANICAL ENGINEERING introduces students to the ever-emerging field of mechanical engineering, giving an appreciation for how engineers design the hardware that builds and improves societies all around the world. Intended for students in their first or second year of a typical college or university program in mechanical engineering or a closely related field, the text balances the treatments of technical problem-solving skills, design, engineering analysis, and modern technology.

    Addresses the questions "who are mechanical engineers" and "what do they do"?
    Explores innovative design experiences, problem-solving skills, basic engineering analysis, and case studies.
    Emphasizes design projects, and exposes students to computer-aided engineering, principles of engineering science, and mechanical engineering hardware.
    Includes a number of vignettes and case studies to demonstrate the realism of the material.
    "Focus on …" boxes in each chapter are used to highlight interesting topics and other emerging concepts in mechanical engineering broadening the textbook's coverage without detracting from its flow.
    Presents engineering as a visual and graphical activity by placing particular emphasis on the quality and breadth of the nearly three hundred photographs and illustrations, leveraging realism to motivate students through interesting examples that offer a glimpse of what they will be able to study in later courses and, subsequently, practice in their own careers.
