This richly illustrated text reflects the experiences and philosophy of the author as is presented in his introductory course, Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, currently being taught at Iowa State University. Dr. Wickert introduces students to the vocabulary, skills, applications, and excitement of the mechanical engineering profession. The text balances problem solving skills, communications skills, design engineering analysis, real world applications and practical technology. Features "Focus on.." boxes in each chapter are used to highlight interesting topics. Instructor’’s Solutions Manual includes lectures, a CAD/CAM project, and a team design project. Also includes vignettes and case studies. Realistic, interesting applications dominate. PowerPoint presentation of all images from the text is available free for Instructors.
