Fifth Edition
By
W. Bolton, Formerly Lecturer at Buckingham Chilterns University College, U.K.
Description
Engineering Science is a comprehensive textbook suitable for all vocational and pre-degree courses. Taking a generic
approach, the essential scientific principles engineering students need for their studies are presented topic by topic. Unlike the majority
of texts available on this subject, Bill Bolton goes beyond the core science to include the mechanical, electrical and electronic principles
needed in the majority of courses.
A concise and accessible text is supported by numerous worked examples and problems, with a complete
Answer Section at the back of the book. Now in its fifth edition, the text has been fully updated in line with the current BTEC National
syllabus and includes a grid mapping the chapters to the BTEC units. The breadth of coverage means this fifth edition will also prove
an essential reference for students embarking on HNC and Foundation Degrees, who require a general introduction to this subject area.
New for this edition is online lecturer support available from http://textbooks.elsevier.com and featuring: – Key points, definitions
and equations from the book for use as handouts – Multiple Choice Questions – Answers to the Multiple Choice Questions – PowerPoint slides
featuring essential illustrations per topic area for use in lectures or as handouts
Audience
Pre-degree engineering students requiring a thorough and comprehensive grounding in Engineering Science before embarking on their course.
