These exciting texts represent years of teaching experience and research on "how" students study and learn. Features of these exciting engineering mechanics texts include:
A Consistent Approach to Problem Solving - All example problems follow the same structured problem-solving methodology. This process includes Road Map and Modeling, Governing Equations, Computation, and Discussion & Verification.
Contemporary Examples, Problems, and Applications - The problem sets have been carefully constructed to help show how various subjects are used in engineering practice. Considerable effort has been made to make the example problems, homework problems, and design problems realistic in terms of how statics and dynamics are used in engineering practice.
A Focus on Design - The authors have systematically incorporated real-life design and modeling problems throughout. Topics include meaningful discussions on design, ethics, and professional responsibility.
Computational Tools - This series features a set of problems to be solved with computational software. Utilization of these programs extends the types of problems that can be solved and gives students insight into the power of these tools.
Modern Pedagogy - Modern pedagogical elements have been included throughout the text. These elements help reinforce concepts and they also provide additional information to help students understand the concepts.
