Establishes an overview or “big picture” of the engineering technologies, so students may best select the most compatible engineering technology program for them, considers major technologies, such as chemical, civil, architectural, electrical/electronic, computer, industrial, and mechanical.
Creates a sense of belonging while promoting teamwork as it brings together a diverse group of people (traditional students and non-traditional students) into the world of technology.
Builds a functional base of skills and knowledge that allows students to successfully pursue an education in the engineering technologies, goes over basic math skills in both text and appendices - covering applied algebra, trigonometry, and geometry concepts; conversion of engineering units; and orientation to the engineering calculator and personal computers; dimensions and units, and much more, discusses basic college survival skills, such as using the technical library, maintaining good grades, scheduling adequate study time, and applying basic problem-solving skills, examines the critical importance of developing good communication skills, with focused sections on proper experimental methods, graphing, report writing, and oral reporting.
Describes future challenges confronting the engineering technologist- robotics, expert systems, optical systems, new composite materials, and implementing other technologies.
Provides two handy glossaries to help students master the language of computers, plus provides an inside back cover which lists the most frequently used DOS commands.
Introduction to Engineering Technology, Sixth Edition, explains the responsibilities of technicians and technologists in the dynamic world of engineering. The basic tools of engineering technology are identified and explained, including problem solving, calculator skills, conversion of units, geometry, computer skills, and technical reporting. The text has been used to develop curricula for introductory engineering technology courses in the United States and abroad.
Important mathematical concepts are presented in a moderately-paced manner so that they can be easily learned. The presentation is also designed to motivate the reader to acquire more sophisticated skills in algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Most importantly, this popular text helps readers to understand the broad spectrum of today's technologies, preparing them for their technical courses to follow.
Updates to the Sixth Edition have been carefully crafted to reflect changes in the technology and the industries they serve. Employment, salary, and occupational information have been modified to reflect the most recent survey information. A brief introduction to statistics has been added in order to meet the recommendations of current users of the text. The latest in the series of the popular TI-80s―the TI-89has been explained, although the fourth chapter is general enough that any engineering calculator may be mastered with appropriate instruction. The computer information in the text has been updated and simplified as much as is practical in order to assist the aspiring technologist to focus on the most important operations to be performed. Excel and graphing with Excel have been added. New figures and photos have been added to clarify the concepts presented.
