Richly illustrated, this text reflects the author's experiences and philosophy while teaching his introductory
course, Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, at Carnegie Mellon University. He introduces students to the vocabulary,
skills, applications, and excitement of the mechanical engineering profession. The text balances problem solving
skills, communications skills, design engineering analysis, real world applications and practical technology.
Benefits:
- NEW! New chapter on fluids engineering.
- NEW! New sections on communications skills, materials selection and manufacturing processes.
- NEW! Expanded coverage of US Customary System and SI.
- NEW! Examples use a common, improved pedagogical format.
- "Focus on.." boxes in each chapter are used to highlight interesting topics.
- Includes lectures, a CAD/CAM project, and a team design project.
- Also includes vignettes and case studies.
- Realistic, interesting applications dominate.
