This introduction to engineering problem solving with ANSI C++ programming language employs an easy-to-read problem solving methodology to consider a diverse range of Grand Challenges. The emphasis on engineering and scientific problem solving remains an integral part of the text. An object-based programming approach is utilized starting with Chapter 8.

From the Back Cover

Best-selling author Delores M. Etter and computer science and engineering educator coauthor Jeanine A. Ingber provide an introduction to engineering problem solving with an object-based programming approach using the ANSI C++ programming language. The authors employ an easy-to-use problem solving methodology to consider a diverse range of grand challenges, including prediction of weather, climate, and global change; computerized speech understanding; mapping of the human genome; improvement in vehicle performance; enhanced oil and gas recovery; and engineering simulation. The emphasis on engineering and scientific problem solving remains as an integral part of the text.

Introduces engineering problem solving with the following objectives:

To develop a consistent methodology for solving engineering problems.
To illustrate the problem-solving process with C++ through a variety of engineering examples and applications.
To introduce the concept of object-based programming and the features of C++ that support it, while focusing on the fundamentals of programming.

Key features:

Presents a five-step process used consistently throughout the text for solving engineering problems.
Introduces objects early in the discussion of data types and standard input and output.
Discusses fundamental capabilities of C++ for solving engineering problems, including control structure, data files, and functions.
Provides flexibility in covering topics.
Exposes the reader to the template functions.
Addresses one-dimensional arrays and Matrices with an introduction to the vector class.
