Taylor & Francis Inc Introduction to Engineering
Book Synopsis Developed for the Ultimate Introductory Engineering CourseIntroduction to Engineering: An Assessment and Problem-Solving Approach incorporates experiential, and problem- and activity-based instruction to engage students and empower them in their own learning. This book compiles the requirements of ABET, (the organization that accredits most US engineering, computer science, and technology programs and equivalency evaluations to international engineering programs) and integrates the educational practices of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). The book provides learning objectives aligned with ABET learning outcomes and AAC&U high-impact educational practices. It also identifies methods for overcoming institutional barriers and challenges to implementing assessment initiatives. The book begins with an overview of the assessment theory, presents examples of real-world applications, and includes key assessmTrade Review"While this book covers a large amount of topics in engineering/engineering technology education and professions, from what I’ve read, each topic is concisely and practically written, and well organized. I also appreciate the diversity in background and skill of the engineering professionals that shared their experiences in this book. In addition to providing guidance to engineering/engineering technology students and educators, this book can serve as an excellent reference book for high school/college academic advisors and career counselors, parents, or anyone who’s interested to learn more about the engineering/engineering technology education and professions.—Yiheng Wang, Lone Star College – CyFair, The Woodlands, Texas, USA"The material covered in the textbook is well organized and thoroughly documented. I particularly like the detailed statements from engineers working in industry. This provides very useful perspectives for students. I also like that the author provides a summary of many subjects required by most engineering/engineering technology programs. This book could become a key supplemental (reference) text for students as they work their way through their program."—Rob Speckert, Miami University, Hamilton, Ohio, USATable of ContentsENGINEERING EDUCATION.

Book SynopsisFinite Element Simulations with ANSYS Workbench 2022 is a comprehensive and easy to understand workbook. Printed in full color, it utilizes rich graphics and step-by-step instructions to guide you through learning how to perform finite element simulations using ANSYS Workbench.Twenty seven real world case studies are used throughout the book. Many of these case studies are industrial or research projects that you build from scratch. Prebuilt project files are available for download should you run into any problems. Companion videos, that demonstrate exactly how to perform each tutorial, are also available.Relevant background knowledge is reviewed whenever necessary. To be efficient, the review is conceptual rather than mathematical. Key concepts are inserted whenever appropriate and summarized at the end of each chapter. Additional exercises or extension research problems are provided as homework at the end of each chapter.A learning approach emphasizing hands-on experiences is utilized though this entire book. A typical chapter consists of six sections. The first two provide two step-by-step examples. The third section tries to complement the exercises by providing a more systematic view of the chapter subject. The following two sections provide more exercises. The final section provides review problems.Who this book is forThis book is designed to be used mainly as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. It will work well in: a finite element simulation course taken before any theory-intensive courses an auxiliary tool used as a tutorial in parallel during a Finite Element Methods course an advanced, application oriented, course taken after a Finite Element Methods course
