Product Description

Higher Engineering Science aims to provide students with an understanding of the scientific principles that underpin the design and operation of modern engineering systems. It builds a sound scientific foundation for further study of electronics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.

The text is ideal for students, including numerous features designed to aid student learning and put theory into practice:
* Worked examples with step-by-step guidance and hints
* Highlighted key points, applications and practical activities
* Self-check questions included throughout the text
* Problems sections with full answers supplied

Further worked examples, applications, case studies and assignments have also been incorporated into this second edition.

Assuming a minimum of prior knowledge, the book has been written to suit courses with an intake from a range of educational backgrounds. The new edition has been designed specifically to cater for the compulsory core Engineering Science unit for HNC and HND qualifications, and updated throughout to match the syllabus of the new BTEC Higher National Engineering schemes from Edexcel. It will also prove ideal for introductory science modules in degree courses.

* Updated throughout to cover the compulsory Engineering Science unit of the new Higher National schemes from Edexcel
* Worked examples, problems and answers sections enable readers to apply theory to engineering practice
* Assumes a minimum of prior knowledge - ideal for students from a range of educational backgrounds

Customer Reviews

Good book, would be even better without the mistakes!
We are currentley studying for our HNC in engineering. We use this book quite often. It is well written and we like the worked examples. We would have given this book a much higher star rating if it did not have so many mistakes! THIS DRIVES US NUTS!

Higher Engineering Science
The layout of this paperback edition is very good with numerous examples and revision questions on the subject of Engineering Science. On the down side there are quite a few errors throughout the text and these are not simply typographical errors from the print stage. The content more than adequately covers the BTEC/Edexcel course guidelines. Due to the errors in the text I'd recommend waiting until a revised or next edition is out when hopefully the mistakes have been corrected.

highner national science
This book is exactly what i needed for reference while doing HNC Aero Engineering, very good book, easy to understand and very helpful.
