In this revision of a popular book, the best-selling author provides a new theme for the real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems used throughout the text. Solutions to the problems are developed using the language C and the author's signature five-step problem solving process. Since learning any new skill requires practice at a number of different levels of difficulty, four types of exercises are presented to develop problem-solving skills - Practice! problems, Modify! problems, Short-Answer problems, and Programming problems. The author's clear and precise style creates a highly accessible and readable text for students of all levels.

From the Back Cover

Best-selling author, Delores M. Etter, and computer science and engineering educator co-author, Jeanine A. Ingber, provide an introduction to engineering problem solving using the ANSI C programming language that features the widest variety of real world applications available. The authors employ an easy-to-use, problem-solving methodology to solve a diverse range of problems from areas including electrical, computer, mechanical, civil, chemical, and environmental engineering and computer science. The emphasis on engineering and scientific problem solving remain as an integral part of the text.

To develop a consistent methodology for solving engineering problems.
To present the fundamental capabilities of C, the language of choice of many practicing engineers and scientists.
To illustrate the problem solving process with C through a variety of engineering examples and applications.
