Description
This is the 5th SI Edition, adapted based on the current 5th U.S. edition, and it is published in full-colour. All examples, exercises and solutions have been adapted into SI units wherever U.S. customary units are used.
As with the original U.S. 5th edition, the SI Edition takes a critical thinking approach to help introductory students learn to think like engineers. Compelling photorealistic art and a robust photograph program prompt students to visualize and think critically about engineering situations while Optional Design Examples and Computational Examples expose students to important ABET topics.
Features
Active Example - A new example format that encourages students to spend more time thinking critically about the concepts.
- Each section contains an Active Example that is presented in a format that integrates the text and art.
- A Practice Problem - To give students additional motivation to check their understanding, the answer and full solution to the Practice Problem are included in the back of the book.
Example-focused Problems - Homework problems designed to encourage students to return to a previous example in the section and study it to expand their understanding of the concept.
- Professors can easily identify and assign these problems to encourage further study of particular examples.
Results — Subsections that present essential contents of each section.
- Explanations and their associated figures are presented in the same text/ art format as the Active Example.
30% New Homework Problems
Photorealistic Art Program — Illustrations have been specially rendered to offer photographic—almost 3D—quality.
- Helps students connect visually to engineering situations.
Triple Accuracy Checking—Every page of the book and solutions manual has been reviewed by three checkers to guarantee accuracy.
