Engineering Science

Engineering Science: For Foundation Degree and Higher National covers the engineering principles and applications that students need to know at this level, focusing upon core science and maths topics.

This textbook helps students to get to grips with the complicated scientific principles involved in engineering. Subjects covered in this book include engineering mathematics, electrical and electronic principles, control engineering, engineering materials, mechanics, and thermodynamics, making it ideal for engineering students at foundation degree and Higher National level.

Students following the Foundation Degree and Higher National courses will find this book essential reading, as it covers the core material that they will be following in the duration of their courses. Knowledge-check questions, summary sections and activities are included throughout the book, and applied mathematics is integrated alongside the appropriate areas of engineering studies. The result is a clear, straightforward and easily accessible textbook that encourages independent study and covers the most complex of the scientific principles that students are likely to come across at this level.
