1 The Engineering Profession2 Education for Engineering3 Introduction to Engineering Design4 Engineering Solutions5 Representation of Technical Information6 Engineering Measurements and Estimations7 Dimensions, Units, and Conversions8 Introduction to Engineering Economics9 Economics: Decision Making10 Statistics11 Inferential Statistics and Decision Making12 Mechanics: Statics13 Mechanics: Strength of Materials14 Material Balance15 Energy Sources and Alternatives16 Fundamental Energy Principles17 Electrical Theory18 Flowcharts
"The book may be visualized as having three major sections. The first, encompassing the first three chapters, is an introduction to the engineering profession. Chapter 1 provides information on engineering disciplines and functions. If a formal orientation course is given separately, Chapter 1 can be simply a reading assignment and the basis for students to investigate disciplines of interest. Chapter 2 outlines the course of study and preparation for an engineering work environment. Interdisciplinary projects, teaming, and ethics are discussed. Chapter 3 is an introduction to the design process. If time permits, this material can be supplemented with case studies and your personal experiences to provide an interesting and motivating look at engineering"-- Provided by publisher.
