Contents in Brief
1. The Engineering Profession
2. Engineering Solutions
3. Engineering Design--A Process

The result of more than 20 years' teaching experience, Introduction To Engineering Design and Introduction to Engineering Problem solving combine essential engineering principles with the very latest advances in design technology. No beginning student should be unschooled in traditional engineering drawing or descriptive geometry; at the same time, students hoping to succeed in today's job market cannot afford to be unversed in CAD computer languages, or mathematical solvers. Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving provides procedures for approaching an engineering problem, determining the necessary data and method of solution, and presenting the results using appropriate units. Introduction to Engineering Design offers a thorough grounding in engineering design principles through a ten-step process, supplemented at every stage by an actual preliminary design created by a team of first year students.

The modules also offer numerous opportunities for instructors to bring their own experience and insight into the discussion. Finally, because first-year students enter an academic program at varied levels of preparedness, no mathematical expertise beyond algebra, trigonometry and analytical geometry is required for any of the material or exercises.
