About This Book:
This exciting new Introduction to Engineering text is aimed expressly at high school students.
The unique and extensive incorporation of hands-on projects in this new version differentiates it from other introduction to engineering texts on the market. The projects and examples are developed at a level appropriate for high school students' skills and background, with options to challenge advanced students.
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 homework assignments and engaging hands-on projects are presented with each chapter, and an Instructor's Manual also is available.
Instructor's Guide:
PowerPoint slides, sample tests and quizzes, grading rubrics, teacher project preparation, more-- material in printed form in 3-ring binder; also on CD for easy modification of all materials. $195.00
