"Engineering Your Future" has been developed with the following goals and objectives....
- To expose students to the technical challenges, problems and functions of engineering
- To introduce students to the professional characteristics and ethical responsibilities of engineers
- To present problem-solving skills that will aid in the success of students in the classroom
- To expose students to a teamwork approach to project completion
- To introduce students to a design methodology that can be used in subsequent design courses
The text contains examples within each chapter and assignments afterwards. The assignments include a collection of numerical, writing, and hands-on exercises. The goal is to encourage students to become familiar with the material being presented and, in some cases, to do further exploration.
