Plesha,Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics &<br />
Dynamics presents the fundamental concepts, clearly, in a modern<br />
context using applications and pedagogical devices that connect<br />
with today’s students. The text features a five-part problem-solving<br />
methodology that is consistently used throughout all example problems.<br />
This methodology helps students lay out the steps necessary to<br />
correct problem-formulation and explains the steps needed to arrive<br />
at correct and realistic solutions. Once students have fully mastered<br />
the basic concepts, they are taught appropriate use of modern<br />
computational tools where applicable. Further reinforcing the text's<br />
modern emphasis, the authors have brought engineering design considerations<br />
into selected problems where appropriate. This sensitizes<br />
students to the fact that engineering problems do not have a single<br />
answer and many different routes lead to a correct solution.<br />
The first new mainstream text in engineering mechanics in nearly<br />
twenty years, Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics:<br />
Statics and Dynamics will help your students learn this important<br />
material efficiently and effectively.<br />
FEATURES<br />
v 5-Part Problem Solving Methodology used in all example problems.<br />
A consistent problem-solving approach is used throughout. Each<br />
example problem is solved using a "template" that helps students<br />
effectively set up the problem and solve it correctly.<br />
v Introduces Appropriate Use of Computational Tools. Fundamental<br />
concepts are taught thoroughly, and the use of computational tools<br />
is taught when appropriate.<br />
v Appropriate Design Coverage. The authors have brought<br />
engineering design considerations into selected problems where<br />
applicable. This will sensitize students to the fact that engineering<br />
problems do not have a single answer and many different routes<br />
lead to a correct solution.<br />
v Real World Examples, Problems, Applications, Photographs. All<br />
the photographs, applications, examples are from the real world, so<br />
that students will be able to identify circumstances that they encounter<br />
in there daily lives.<br />
v Online Homework features selected problems from the text and<br />
algorithmically-generated problems that give the instructor a wide<br />
array of homework assignment options.<br />
