Aims to provide students with an understanding of the scientific principles that underpin the design and operation of modern engineering systems. This title includes worked examples with step-by-step guidance and hints; highlighted key points, applications and practical activities; self-check questions; and problems sections with answers.

Original edition published under the title: Materials.

Presents a maths course for a wide ability range, and does not go beyond the requirements of Advanced GNVQ. This book introduces key concepts through examples that are set firmly in engineering contexts, which students will find relevant and motivating.

This is one of the texts in a series designed to provide engineering students in colleges and universities with a mathematical toolkit. The mathematics is developed and applied in an engineering context with worked examples and problems, all with answers being supplied,

Provides an introduction for pre-degree level students and technician engineers. This book helps students develop an understanding of: properties and testing of materials; the relationship of the properties and structure of materials; and, the selection of materials for a wide range of engineering applications.

The integration of electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, control and computer engineering Mechatronics lies at the heart of the innumerable gadgets, processes and technology without which modern life would seem impossible. From auto-focus cameras to car engine management systems, and from state-of-the-art robots to the humble washing machine, Mechatronics has a hand in them all.

An introduction to the principles of industrial control and instrumentation. It is concerned with the basic principles of measurement, control systems and the hardware used, and covers the Business and Technician Education unit Industrial Control and Instrumentation U86/345.

Aims to give the reader an understanding of the ways in which manufacturing companies are organized, and the nature and diversity of engineering products. Other topics covered include the organization of production, and the planning and control of production.

This second edition of a basic yet comprehensive introduction to the subject of control engineering is aimed at both mechanical and electrical engineering students. Included are three chapters on control system hardware, discrete time systems and microprocessor based control.
