Synopsis:

For one/two semester courses in Engineering and Computer Science at the freshman/sophomore level.

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.
• Explains programmer-defined classes, including overloaded operators and inheritance.
• Explores the use of pointers and dynamic memory allocation.
• Includes an introduction to dynamic data structures using classes supported in the C++ Standard Library.
• Offers an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM with Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
