Covers the engineering principles and applications that students need to know at this level, focusing primarily upon the core science and maths topics. This title is suitable for Engineering students at foundation degree and Higher National level who need to understand the complicated scientific principles involved in engineering.
Engineering Science will help you understand the scientific principles involved in engineering.


Focusing primarily upon core mechanical and electrical science topics, students enrolled on an Engineering Foundation degree and Higher National Engineering qualification will find this book an invaluable aid to their learning.


The subject matter covered includes sections on the mechanics of solids, dynamics, thermodynamics, electrostatics and electromagnetic principles, and AC and DC circuit theory.


Knowledge-check questions, summary sections and activities are included throughout the book, and the necessary background mathematics is applied and integrated alongside the appropriate areas of engineering being studied. The result is a clear, straightforward and easily accessible textbook that encourages independent study and covers most of the scientific principles that students are likely to meet at this level.
