Synopsis

This book is written for pre-engineering and no-preference students, as part of an essential recruiting and retention program.

It was developed using the following goals and objectives....

*To expose students to the technical challenges, problems and functions of engineering
*To introduce students to the professional characteristics and ethical responsibilities of engineers
*To present problem-solving skills that will aid in the success of students in the classroom
*To expose students to a teamwork approach to project completion
*To introduce students to a design methodology that can be used in subsequent design courses

The text contains examples within each chapter and assignments afterwards. The assignments include a collection of numerical, writing, and hands-on exercises. The goal is to encourage students to become familiar with the material being presented and, in some cases, to do further exploration.

"EYF" is a 3-book series, offering different versions depending on course needs: Comprehensive, Short-Course, and Problem-Oriented.
