Description
The second edition of this established textbook fully covers the most popular specialist units of the Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Operations and Maintenance Engineering pathways of the 2007 BTEC National Engineering syllabus. Following are the units covered: Unit 8 - Engineering Design; Unit 10 - Properties and Applications of Engineering Materials; Unit 11 - Further Mechanical Principles and Applications; Unit 12 - Applications of Mechanical Systems and Technology; Unit 15 - Electro, Pneumatic and Hydraulic Systems and Devices; and, Unit 18 - Advanced Mechanical Principles and Applications. The look of this new edition has been radically improved and colour has been added to make the book more accessible for students. Key points highlight the most important concepts. Mathematics is backed up with numerous examples to work through and activities for students to complete out of the class room help put the theory in context. Test your knowledge quizzes throughout the text ensure students can test their understanding of the preceding text, while end of unit review questions are ideal for exam revision and set course work.
