Description
The second edition of this bestselling textbook ensures all the core units of the 2007 BTEC National Engineering syllabus are fully covered
in a way that encourages students to explore engineering for themselves, developing the expertise and knowledge required at this level.
Units covered:
Unit 1 – Business Systems for Technicians
Unit 2 – Communications for Technicians
Unit 3 – Engineering
Project
Unit 4 – Mathematics for Technicians
Unit 5 – Electrical and Electronic Principles
Unit 6 – Mechanical Principles and Applications
The look of this new edition has been radically improved and colour has been added to make the book more accessible for students. Key
points and definitions highlight the most important concepts and hundreds of activities and worked examples help put the theory in context.
Questions throughout the text, with answers provided, allow students to test their knowledge as they go, while end of unit review questions
are ideal for exam revision and set course work.
