Engineering Fundamentals and Problem Solving

By Roland Jenison, Larry Northup, Arvid R. Eide, et al.

Book Overview

The fifth edition of "Engineering Fundamentals & Problem Solving" is written to motivate engineering students during their first year. A complete introduction to the engineering field, this text will help students develop the skills to solving open-ended problems in SI and customary units while presenting solutions in a logical manner. Eide introduces students to subject areas that are common to engineering disciplines that require the application of fundamental engineering concepts. For those instructors who desire a shorter text to complement other application specific texts, McGraw-Hill offers cutomization through our Primis-Build a Book, or the BEST version of this text. Please see Eide's "Introduction to Engineering Design and Problem Solving," 2nd edition, from the BEST series.

i ordered it and got it in a very good condition and in time. customer service is awesome. my blessings. keep up the good work.

quality text

One of the better text books I received recently. Text books always seem way over priced, so I'll ignore the cost factor and just focus on material. The book presented a wide range of ideas and concepts in a clear format that was easy to understand. Considering the amount of material it covered I think they did a good job of addressing the essentials without getting bogged down in endless examples and details.

Great foundation for elementary engineering analysis.

This book provides an excellent demonstration of the application of mathmatics and science to the entire field of engineering. The authors touch on the engineering properties of materials, formulas for plane and solid figures, and the application of statistics to process control. A format for clear communication of engineering data is presented. This is a useful book for the student and practicing engineer or technologist.
