Description
BTEC First Engineering
is a key course book covering the compulsory core units of the 2006 BTEC First Engineering
schemes from Edexcel. Full coverage is given to the common core units of the Certificate / Diploma (units 1 and 2), plus the additional
compulsory units for Diploma students (units 3 and 4), for all pathways. It also covers the three common specialist option units found
within each pathway: Selecting Engineering Materials (unit 8), Using Computer Aided Drawing Techniques in Engineering (unit 10), and
Electronic Circuit Construction and Testing (unit 19).
BTEC First Engineering students will find this a clear, straightforward and
easily accessible text, which encourages independent study and covers all the core material they will be following throughout their course.
Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, along with review questions, innovative ?Another View? features, and
worked mathematical examples, all of which relate to real-world engineering contexts.
Students will gain a valuable insight into various
areas of engineering technology and related industries, providing a potential springboard to further training, eventual progression to
qualifications within higher education, or to suitable employment. For those students wishing to progress to BTEC National, this text
covers all the vital material required as a prerequisite for progression to NQF Level 3.
The book is supported with extensive online
resources. At http://www.key2study.com students will find:
- a 2D CAD package that can
be used to carry out the practical CAD activities described in the book
- downloadable CAD drawing templates and Visio symbol
libraries
- an engineering materials database which can be modified and added to by students
- spreadsheets for solving
some common engineering calculations
- additional software and an on-line quiz for unit 19.
In addition, for lecturers
only, http://textbooks.elsevier.com has answers to the review questions in units 3 and 4.
A Curriculum Support Pack by the same
author is also available for purchase. This pack offers an essential suite of teaching resource material and photocopiable handouts for
the compulsory core units of the 2006 BTEC First Engineering schemes from Edexcel. Full coverage is given to the common core units of
the Certificate / Diploma (units 1 and 2), plus the additional compulsory units for Diploma students (units 3 and 4), for all pathways.
