Synopsis

Higher National Engineering is already well known as the only course book for the compulsory core of the new Higher National scheme from Edexcel.

For the first time, the HNC/HND programme is now based around 6 mandatory units. Higher National Engineering is a complete text for this compulsory core, including the two alternative Engineering Principles units (Mechanical and Electrical). Like the syllabus itself, this book is ideal for students progressing to HNC/HND from GNVQs, as well as A-level and BTEC National.

The Revised Edition includes numerous minor revisions as well as a new section comprising answers to all the numerical problems.

About this title

Review:

"Readability, content and coverage are excellent. To find a book covering all the core units at this level in a way the students can understand is a bonus."

'Many books claim to adopt practical mathematical methods but fail. This text succeeds!'

"Higher National Engineering provides current and comprehensive coverage of engineering science. The author explores the broad spectrum of technologies used in practice today."

"A good value book for all the students on HNC."

"Excellent -- covers all the core units. Easy to read for students"

From the Back Cover:

Used alongside the students' text, Higher National Engineering 2nd edition, this pack offers a complete suite of lecturer resource material and photocopiable handouts for the compulsory core units of the 2003 BTEC Higher Nationals in Engineering. Full coverage is given of the common core units for HNC/D (units 1 - 3) for all pathways, as well as the two different Engineering Principles units (unit 5) for mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering, and the additional unit required at HND for these pathways (Engineering Design - unit 6).

The authors provide all the resources needed by a busy lecturer, as well as a bank of student-centred practical work and revision material, which will enable students to gain the skills, knowledge and understanding they require.

This pack will save a course team many hours' work preparing handouts and assignments, and is freely photocopiable within the purchasing institution. The pack includes:
* Exercises to support and develop work in the accompanying student text
* Planned projects which will enable students to display a wide range of skills and use their own initiative
* Reference material for use as hand-outs
* Background on running the new HNC/HND courses
* Tutor's notes supporting activities in the students' book and resource pack
