Discover what it takes to be a successful engineer today with Moaveni's ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS: AN INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING, SI Edition 6th Edition. This reader-friendly approach helps you develop the strong problem-solving skills and solid foundation in fundamental principles you need to become an analytical, detail-oriented and creative engineer. This edition opens with an overview of what engineers do and includes behind-the-scenes glimpses inside areas of specialization. Candid, straight-forward discussions examine what you need to succeed as an engineer today. You study basic physical concepts and laws that are important in your engineering studies as well as on the job. In addition, Professional Profiles throughout this edition highlight the work of practicing engineers around the globe and connect the fundamental principles you're learning to professional engineering success.

Dr. Saeed Moaveni is a successful engineer, author and educator. He is a licensed professional engineer in the State of New York and has more than 35 years of experience in practice, teaching and research. Dr. Moaveni has held faculty appointments at several universities, including University of South Carolina, Syracuse University and Minnesota State University, and he has served as a graduate program coordinator, department chair and dean. He is the former dean of the David Crawford School of Engineering at Norwich University -- one of the oldest engineering schools in the country (founded in 1819). He has served as a consultant to various companies and universities, and as a reviewer and panelist for the National Science Foundation for more than 25 years. As a well-known educator and researcher, Dr. Moaveni has received numerous awards throughout his career, including the Jack Cermak Distinguished Professor Fellowship, the American Society for Engineering Education Outstanding Young Faculty Award, the Inter Faculty Organization (IFO) Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women's Advancement in Minnesota State Universities, the International Network for Engineering Education and Research Recognition Award and the Global Citizen Award from Minnesota State University. Dr. Moaveni's various textbooks have been translated into many languages, including traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Portuguese, Farsi and Korean. He has been invited abroad as a visiting scholar at numerous universities, including Kyushu University (Japan), National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan), National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan), the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at National Taiwan University, Shanghai University of Engineering Science and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ghana).
