About this title

Synopsis

An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering is an essential text for all first-year undergraduate students as well as those studying for foundation degrees and HNDs. The text gives a thorough grounding in the following core engineering topics: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics, electricals and electronics, and materials science. As well as to mechanical engineers, the text will be highly relevant to civil, automotive, aeronautical/aerospace, and general engineering students. The text is written by an experienced team of first-year lecturers at the internationally renowned University of Nottingham. An accompanying website will provide resources for students and tutors, including worked examples of exam-style questions, multiple-choice self-assessment, and revision guides.
