About This Book...

The unique and extensive incorporation of hands-on projects in this new version differentiates it from other introduction to engineering texts on the market.

Students will be introduced to the broad spectrum of engineering, and will be provided their best chance to explore and acquire the core skills and values of engineering which will aid them in the classroom and in their careers.

The text is written in a friendly, interesting, easy-to-read style, without being cute or condescending-something students greatly appreciate. The authors colorfully depict the impressive diversity of engineering, which is far more extensive than students new to engineering are likely to imagine. The "real world" profiles of working engineers are especially helpful in this regard.

Thought-provoking assignments and engaging hands-on projects are presented with each chapter, and an Instructor's Manual also is available.

Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint lecture slides available

There are five versions of "Engineering Your Future" in the series to meet a wide variety of course needs: Problem-Oriented, Problem-Oriented, Short Course, Comprehensive, and A Brief Student's Guide. View a comparison of all five.
