PREFACE:
Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopaedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change.
This book is written for undergraduate engineers and those who teach them. It contains concise chapters on solid mechanics, materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics and dynamics, which provide grounding in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering science.An introduction to mathematics is covered in the companion publication, An Introduction to Mathematics for Engineersby Stephen Lee, also published by Hodder Education.
The authors have over 120 years' experience of teaching undergraduate engineers between them, mostly, but not exclusively, at the University of Nottingham.The material contained within this textbook has been derived from lecture notes, research findings and personal experience from within the lecture theatre and tutorial sessions.
We gratefully acknowledge the support, encouragement and occasional gentle prod from Stephen Halder and Gemma Parsons at Hodder Education, without whom this book would still be a figment of our collected imaginations.
