Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design: 

Creativity, Engagement and Learning
PDF | 300 pages | 16,2 mb

Make and test projects are used as introductory design experiences in almost every engineering educational institution world wide.However, the educational benefits and costs associated with these projects have been seldom examined. Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design provides a serious examination of the design of make and test projects and their associated educational values. A taxonomy is provided for the design of make and test projects as well as a catalogue of technical information about unconventional engineering materials and energy sources. 

 

Case studies are included based on the author?s experience of supervising make and test projects for over twenty-five years.
The book is aimed at the engineering educator and all those planning and conducting make and test projects. Up until now, this has been topic dealt with informally. Make and Test Projects in Engineering Design is the first book that formalises this important aspect of early learning in engineering design and will be an invaluable teaching tool and resource for educators in engineering design.

Electronics Projects for Dummies

Electronics Projects for Dummies

408 pages | PDF | 12,7 MB

If you’ve caught the electronics bug, you’re ready to try all kinds of projects that will help you develop your skills while creating weird and wonderful gadgets. That’s what this book is about: providing projects that are fun and interesting as well as helping you find out about all kinds of electronic circuits and components.

Electronics Projects For Dummies is a great way to break into electronics or expand your electronics horizons. Here, we provide projects that allow you to dabble in using sound chips, motion detectors, light effects, and more. And all the projects are low voltage, so if you follow our safety advice, no electronics folks will be hurt in the process.

Electronics projects not only help you build useful and fun gadgets, but you pick up a lot of knowledge along the way about how various electronic parts work, how to read a circuit diagram, and how to use tools such as soldering irons and multimeters. So by using this book, you have fun and get some knowledge at the same time.

This book provides you with just what you need to get going in the fun world of electronics. It offers projects that you can build in a reasonable amount of time — and in most cases, for very little money!!!

Sound Projects like:

* to make lights dance to music,

* create a parabolic microphone to pick up sounds at a distance,

* make a wizard that talks when you push his buttons, and

* create your own AM radio.

Light projects like:

* light up a pumpkin by using a motion detector,

* create a light display that will make your next party rock, and

* build a go-kart that you direct by using an infrared remote control device.

Vibrations projects like:

* create a metal detector,

* a radio controlled vehicle that senses light and runs around a track, and

* a device that sits on your couch and raises a ruckus if your pet jumps on the cushion.

All Projects are nicely illustrated......

Mechanical Engineering Design

PDF | Pages: 1060 | 18,4 MB

The eighth edition of Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design maintains the basic approaches that have made this book the standard in machine design for over 40 years. At the same time it combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals instructors have come to expect with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. Overall coverage of basic concepts are clear and concise so that readers can easily navigate key topics.

This edition includes a new case study to help illuminate the complexities of shafts and axles and a new finite elements chapter. Problem sets have been improved, with new problems added to help students progressively work through them.

The book website includes ARIS, which is a homework management system that will have 90 algorithmic problems. This package includes solutions to problems.

Electronic Amplifier Circuits - Theory & Design

Electronic Amplifier Circuits - Theory & Design

PDF | 340 Pages | 11.9 MB

The amplification of week signals into stronger signals is of fundamental importance in almost any electronic system. Because of the importance of amplifiers in the electronic art the authors have tried to produce a work which will be of use to both students and engineers who have a need for a second look at amplifier theory from a more advanced point of view.

The subject matter of the book can be studies for the useful, practical design data, or instead the book may be regarded as a collection of examples of the engineering method whereby mathematics and physics have been applied to the solution of new and difficult problem.

Construction Cost Management

Construction Cost Management

PDF | 321 Pages 1.70 MB

Aimed at students of Surveying and Construction Management programmes, this book uniquely embraces cost management in both the building and civil engineering sectors in the

UK and overseas and should thus prove useful to practitioners. Seminar questions are included at the end of each chapter with additional links to over 100 project case studies in order to

reinforce the learning experience.

Keith Potts examines the key issues and best practice in the cost management of construction projects under traditional contracts and new methodologies. All stages within the life cycle of a project are considered from pre-contract to tendering and post-contract.

Worked examples, legal cases and over 65 project case studies are used to illustrate the practical application of the theory, where appropriate.

Extensive references are captured, including the UK government’s Constructing Excellence programme and the National Audit Reports, in order to further develop an understanding of the subject. Reference is made to major projects such as the Scottish Parliament Building, Wembley Stadium and BAA’s Heathrow Terminal 5.

Planning, Estimating & Control of Chemical Construction Project

Planning, Estimating & Control of Chemical Construction Project

PDF | 480 ages | 39.02 MB

Experienced project managers had their collections of data, and one could always find books on the theory of project management; however, the data available were often inconsistent, and there was rarely an explanation of what it actually represented. Understanding the theory is great, but it does not give one the data and detail required to actually manage, estimate, schedule,o r contract.

In our contacts with plant project managers, we at FMC recognized that this informational void still existed and commissioned Pablo Navarrete to fill it. This book represents the result of that effort. In addition to committing his knowledge to writing, Pablo has conducted many courses for our plant project managers and found that this material is just what they needed.

Although real data are a unique strength of this book, the text also provides theory and valuable guidance through checklists, do's and don't s, and typical problems and corrective actions. As novice project managers plan, estimate, schedule, contract, and actually execute their projects, they will understand what isimportant, the whys as well as the whats.
