Product Description

Higher National Engineering 2nd Edition is a new edition of this extremely successful course book, covering the compulsory core units of the 2003 BTEC Higher National Engineering schemes. Full coverage is given of the common core units for HNC/D (units 1 - 3) for all pathways, as well as the two different Engineering Principles units (unit 5) for mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering, and the additional unit required at HND for these pathways (Engineering Design - unit 6).

Students following the HNC and HND courses will find this book essential reading, as it covers the core material they will be following through the duration of their course. Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, along with learning summaries, innovative 'Another View' features, and applied maths integrated alongside the appropriate areas of engineering studies. The result is a clear, straightforward and easily accessible text, which encourages independent study.

Like the syllabus itself, this book is ideal for students progressing to HNC/HND from AVCE, as well as A-Level and BTEC National. The topics covered are also suitable reading for students following BTEC Foundation Degrees in Engineering/Technology, as well as Foundation Degrees in Engineering run by UK institutions nationwide.

* Full coverage of the compulsory core units of the new BTEC Higher National Engineering schemes from Edexcel, for both Certificate and Diploma
* Student-centred approach ideal for courses with an element of independent study
* Knowledge check questions and activities included throughout, to aid student learning
