Science for Engineering aims to develop in the reader an understanding of fundamental science concepts and to give a mechanical, thermal and electrical engineering-systems background for student engineers. The text specifically covers the GNVQ Engineering mandatory units Science and Mathematics for Engineering (Intermediate) and Science for Engineering (Advanced). However, it can be regarded as a basic textbook in engineering science for a much wider range of courses.
Clear, concise explanations are supported by over 500 worked examples and over 1000 problems including multiple choice questions to provide practice for the GNVQ end of unit tests.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
In this book John Bird introduces engineering science through examples rather than theory - enabling students to develop a sound understanding of engineering systems in terms of the basic scientific laws and principles. The book includes 575 worked examples, 1200 problems, 440 multiple choice questions (answers provided), and the maths that students will require is also provided in a separate section within the book.
The new edition of Science for Engineering presents the fundamentals of the subject, and has also been brought fully in line with the compulsory Science and Mathematics units in the new specifications for BTEC National and BTEC First courses. It also offers full coverage of the compulsory units of AVCE and Intermediate GNVQ (Science and Mathematics).
Throughout the book assessment papers are provided that are ideal for use as tests or homework. These are the only problems where answers are not provided in the book. Full worked solutions are available to lecturers only as a free download from the Newnes website: www.newnespress.com

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Aiming to provide an understanding of fundamental science concepts, and to give a basic mechanical, thermal and electrical engineering systems background for student engineers, this text covers the GNVQ Engineering mandatory units "Science and Mathematics for Engineering" (intermediate) and "Science for Engineering" (advanced). However, it can be regarded as a basic textbook in engineering science for a much wider range of courses. The aims are to describe engineering systems in terms of basic scientific laws and principles, to investigate the behaviour of simple linear systems in engineering, to calculate the response of engineering systems to changes in variables, and to determine the response of engineering systems to changes in parameters. It is assumed that the reader has little previous knowledge of each topic that is considered and the emphasis is on "practicality and learning by example". Theory is introduced in each chapter by a reasonably brief outline of essential definitions, formulae, laws, and procedures. 500 worked problems, 325 multiple-choice questions (this being the form expected of students for National testing of their "Science for Engineering" units), and 400 short answer questions and 700 further questions with answers are included. The problems mirror practical situations found in science and engineering. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001369881
