Jim Dally, working with College House Enterprises, has prepared eight previous books in this\u003cbr\u003e series--a new one almost every academic year--for the first-year engineering students of the University of\u003cbr\u003e Maryland at College Park. Several other Colleges of Engineering have adopted one or more of the books in\u003cbr\u003e this series to introduce design and engineering skills for their first or second year students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is organized into parts to present many topics that first year engineering students should\u003cbr\u003e understand as they proceed through a significant portion of the product realization process. Product and\u003cbr\u003e system development processes are introduced in Part I. Information on team skills and the importance of the\u003cbr\u003e product development process is covered in Chapter 1 and 2. The hovercraft missions are also presented in\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 together with a description of the design concepts involved in hovercraft development. By\u003cbr\u003e assigning a demanding project, a holistic approach is employed in the student's first engineering experience\u003cbr\u003e that motivates them. Design of a hovercraft enables the instructor an opportunity to integrate a spectrum of\u003cbr\u003e knowledge about many topics. The student's hands-on participation in design, building and testing a\u003cbr\u003e hovercraft significantly enhances their learning process. The theoretical background needed to conduct design\u003cbr\u003e analyses for the hovercraft is presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 describes basic electric circuits to provide\u003cbr\u003e technical background helpful for the design of the hovercraft. Sensors used to provide feedback signals for\u003cbr\u003e control of the hovercraft are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 introduces the fuel cells that will be used or propulsion of the hovercrafts, and finally, an extensive and detailed description of programming in LabVIEW\u003cbr\u003e is included in Chapter 7.\u003cbr\u003e Part II treats the very important topic of communications in engineering. This starts with a relatively\u003cbr\u003e complete treatment of three-view drawings in Chapter 8 and an introduction to pictorial drawings (including\u003cbr\u003e isometric, oblique, and perspective drawings) in provided in Chapter 9. The use of tables and graphs in\u003cbr\u003e communicating engineering information using Microsoft Excel is presented in Chapter 10. Finally, Chapter\u003cbr\u003e 11 focuses on technical reports and describes many aspects of technical writing and library research. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part III introduces the students to engineering as a profession. A historical perspective on the\u003cbr\u003e role engineering played in developing civilization and on improving the lives of the masses is presented in\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15 where we move from the past into the present and indicate the current relationships between\u003cbr\u003e business, consumers and society. Chapter 16 discusses the balance among safety, risk and performance. It\u003cbr\u003e includes a listing of hazards, which is important in identifying the many different ways users of a product can\u003cbr\u003e be harmed. Chapter 17 on ethics, character and engineering includes a large number of topics so the instructor\u003cbr\u003e can select from among them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 388\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10.75 x 8.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 05, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47418264682674,"sku":"9781935673071","price":111.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/3e9873cf7243e076f6d40efe6c1bb40f.webp?v=1778447507","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/introduction-to-engineering-design-book-9-6th-edition-engineering-skills-and-hovercraft-missions-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
