Fundamentals of Engineering Economic Analysis offers a powerful, visually-rich approach to the subject—delivering streamlined yet rigorous coverage of the use of economic analysis techniques in engineering design. This award-winning textbook provides an impressive array of pedagogical tools to maximize student engagement and comprehension, including learning objectives, key term definitions, comprehensive case studies, classroom discussion questions, and challenging practice problems. Clear, topically—organized chapters guide students from fundamental concepts of borrowing, lending, investing, and time value of money, to more complex topics such as capitalized and future worth, external rate of return, deprecation, and after-tax economic analysis. This fully-updated second edition features substantial new and revised content that has been thoroughly re-designed to support different learning and teaching styles. Numerous real-world vignettes demonstrate how students will use economics as practicing engineers, while plentiful illustrations, such as cash flow diagrams, reinforce student understanding of underlying concepts. Extensive digital resources now provide an immersive interactive learning environment, enabling students to use integrated tools such as Excel. The addition of the WileyPLUS platform provides tutorials, videos, animations, a complete library of Excel video lessons, and much more.

Building on the success of previous editions, this book continues to provide engineers with a strong understanding of the three primary types of materials and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. The relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance components for steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors are explored throughout the chapters. The discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells is expanded. At the end of each chapter, engineers will also find revised summaries and new equation summaries to reexamine key concepts.

ISBN: 1119013844

How Things Work provides an accessible introduction to physics for the non-science student. Like the previous editions it employs everyday objects, with which students are familiar, in case studies to explain the most essential physics concepts of day-to-day life. Lou Bloomfield takes seemingly highly complex devices and strips away the complexity to show how at their heart are simple physics ideas. Once these concepts are understood, they can be used to understand the behavior of many devices encountered in everyday life. The sixth edition uses the power of WileyPLUS Learning Space with Orion to give students the opportunity to actively practice the physics concepts presented in this edition. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version. Access to WileyPLUS sold separately.

This new version now contains answers to all the over 600 stimulating questions. Walker covers the entirety of naked-eye physics by exploring problems of the everyday world. He focuses on the flight of Frisbees, sounds of thunder, rainbows, sand dunes, soap bubbles, etc., and uses such familiar objects as rubber bands, eggs, tea pots, and Coke bottles. Many references to outside sources guide the way through the problems. Now the inclusion of answers provides immediate feedback, making this an extraordinary approach in applying all of physics to problems of the real world.· Hiding Under the Covers, Listening for the Monsters· The Walrus Speaks of Classical Mechanics· Heat Fantasies and Other Cheap Thrills of the Night· The Madness of Stirring Tea· She Comes in Colors Everywhere· The Electrician's Evil and the Ring's Magic· The Walrus Has His Last Say and Leaves Us Assorted Goodies
