About the Book

Introduction to Engineering Analysis is designed to teach you how to perform engineering analyses using a systematic problem-solving method. Written for students embarking on any engineering major, the book will introduce you to the fundamental principles of a variety of engineering subjects and then apply the problem-solving method to those subjects.

Approximately 40 percent of the end-of-chapter problems in the 5th Edition are new or revised, giving you more opportunities to practice and apply the problem-solving methodology you'll use throughout your engineering coursework. New photographs have been added to help you visualize concepts, and content updates include current statistics on renewable energy.
