An introduction to engineering science through examples rather than theory - seeking to enable students to develop a sound understanding of engineering systems in terms of the basic scientific laws and principles. The maths that students will require is also provided in a separate section within the book. This new edition is fully in line with the 2000 GNVQ specifications, covering the complementary unit of the Advanced GNVQ - Applied Science in Engineering - and the option unit for Intermediate GNVQ - Applied Science and Mathematics for Engineering. The book's step-by-step coverage of the subject should also make it a suitable text for the BTEC NII unit and a variety of other courses.
