Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes in Mechanical Engineering: Compiled Principally for the Use of Students Attending the Lectures in This Subject at the City of London College
"The City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education" having, in the year 1880, issued a programme of instruction in various subjects, upon the basis of the system so well developed by the Government Department of Science and Art, the author became enrolled as a teacher of Mechanical Engineering in connection with the Institute, and delivered a series of lectures in that subject at the City of London College. His efforts to render the course attractive and useful were fairly successful, as he was able to draw upon a very large collection of diagrams prepared for machine construction and other allied science subjects; and these, supplying the ground work of the illustrations, enabled him to devote some time to the preparation of others specially applicable to the circumstances of the case. However, the very abundance of the information proved in itself a drawback, as the majority of the students, coming totally unprepared by previous training for taking notes, and having but little aptitude for dealing with formulæ, or even for the classification of facts, were unable to assimilate the technical food placed before them.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330867860_0
