Full Description
This collection of engineering case studies presents stories of young engineers faced with challenges that can be solved by applying the fundamental ideas presented in the text. The case studies can be used to present or integrate course material.
This title is part of Prentice Hall's ESource series. ESource allows professors to select the content appropriate for their freshman/first-year engineering course. Professors can adopt the published manuals as is or use ESource's website www.prenhall.com/esource to view and select the chapters they need, in the sequence they want. The option to add their own material or copyrighted material from other publishers also exists.
