Engineering Fundamentals: Design, Principles, and Careers 3e
Engineering Fundamentals: Design, Principles, and Careers, 3e provides a complete introduction to the field, starting with the design process and then reviewing, in-depth, ten common engineering disciplines. For each discipline, career options, educational requirements, basic math and science principles, and real-world applications are presented. The content fully supports STEM initiatives and an activity-based curriculum. The third edition has been updated to include cutting-edge technologies from wind turbines to vaccine development to quantum dots, and over 70 hands-on activities have been added to the end-of-chapter material.
