Writing is a large part of the engineering process, with many professional engineers spending over 60 percent of their time writing letters, memos, proposals, reports and specification documents.Writing is a skill that, like any other, can be developed: you need to learn the basics, understand what is expected, and then write and rewrite until the words run effortlessly on the page. Engineering students can prepare themselves for the responsibilities they will face in this field today.
Recognizing the unique needs of the technology startup, Duening focuses on intellectual property development, funding, and marketing/selling more than other texts in this market. Extensive use of technology examples, case studies, and assignments keeps the book relevant and motivating for engineering students. A full supplements package, including instructor manual and lecture notes, makes it easy to get the course up and running.
B.E.S.T. (Basic Engineering Series and Tools) consists of modularized textbooks offering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be covered in an introductory engineering course. All the texts boast distinguished authors and the most current content. These inexpensive BEST modules are easily combined with each other to construct the ideal Intro to Engineering course. The goal of this series is to provide the educational community with material that is timely, affordable, of high quality, and flexible in how it is used.
This fascingating and readable account of the history of biology, from ancient times through genetic engineering, should be really inspirational to those with an interest in the science.
