Synopsis

This book compiles notes from lectures on mechanical engineering for students attending classes at The City of London College. It is especially targeted toward the first four lines of the syllabus issued by The City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education in 1880, which laid the foundation for technical education in England. The author, a member of The City and Guilds of London Institute and several other engineering societies, noticed that, despite an abundance of diagrams, his students lacked the background necessary to understand mechanical engineering and struggled with formulae. Thus, this book was written to help students who felt overwhelmed, particularly those preparing for the Mechanical Engineering Examination. It aims to simplify the subject, explain concepts, and provide additional information on materials, behavior of materials under strain, tools, and manufacturing processes. This book provides a solid foundation and overview of mechanical engineering principles, with an emphasis on practical applications and an eye toward helping students succeed on their exams. It is a valuable resource for students, instructors, and anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of this important field.
