Exploring Engineering: An Introduction to Engineering and Design

Exploring Engineering: An Introduction to Engineering and Design, Sixth Edition explores the world of engineering by introducing the reader to what engineers do, the fundamental principles that form the basis of their work, and how they apply that knowledge within a structured design process. The three-part organization of the text reinforces these areas, making this an ideal introduction for anyone interested in exploring the various fields of engineering and learning how engineers work to solve problems. This new edition has been revised with new mini-design projects, more content on ethics, and more examples throughout the text on the use of significant figures. Provides a multiple award-winning textbook that introduces students to the engineering profession, emphasizing the fundamental physical, chemical, and material bases for all engineering workPoses ethical challenges and explores decision-making in an engineering contextLists Top Engineering Achievements and Top Engineering Challenges to help put the material in context and show engineering as a vibrant discipline involved in solving societal problemsIncludes a companion website with several drawing supplements, including Free-hand Engineering Sketching, (detailed instructions on free-hand engineering sketching); AutoCAD Introduction, (an introduction to the free AutoCAD drawing software); and Design Projects, (freshman-level design projects that complement the Hands-On part of the textbook) INDICE: Part 1: LEAD-ON 1.
