Description
A revised edition of a well-established text to meet the syllabus changes and types of courses now being offered, in particular the BTEC science unit NII unit.
Engineering Science offers the student a comprehensive coverage of the basic principles of engineering science, including mechanics, heat, electricity and sound. For this fourth edition sections on systems and measurement and experimental measurements have been added. The text is supported throughout with numerous worked examples and problems and useful abbreviations and symbols have been given.
Engineering Science is an essential textbook of students following BTEC NC/D courses in engineering. It also provides for a wide range of other courses including C&G craft courses where a basic knowledge of engineering science is required
