Book Synopsis
This book is the sixth edition of the ninth textbook in this series dealing with Introduction to Engineering Design. Several Colleges of Engineering have adopted one or more of the books in this series to introduce design and engineering skills for their first or second year students.
The edition of the textbook is used by the University of Nevada, Reno to support students during a semester-long project in building hovercrafts. Some of the material may be covered in class or in a laboratory session. Additional material is covered with reading assignments. In other instances, the students use the text as a reference document for independent study.
