About This Book:
This resource can play an essential role in improving STEM literacy, as the fields of engineering and technology offer opportunities for real-life application of math and science concepts. This STEM-oriented text has been designed to meet standards for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Few students have any real notion of what engineering truly is. Engineering, in one form or another, touches most every aspect of our lives. Engineers work in countless ways to make our lives better, safer, cleaner, more productive, less taxing, more convenient, less volatile, and more enjoyable.
Engineering Your Future introduces the broad spectrum of engineering and provides students the opportunity to explore and acquire the core skills and values of engineering, which will aid in classroom and career. The authors colorfully depict the impressive diversity of engineering, which is far more extensive than students new to engineering are likely to imagine. The "real world" profiles of working engineers are especially helpful in this regard.
The unique and extensive incorporation of hands-on projects and collaborative learning differentiate it from other available text resources. The projects and examples are developed at a level appropriate for high school students' skills and background, with options to challenge advanced students.
The text is written in a friendly, interesting, easy-to-read style, without being cute or condescending — something students greatly appreciate.
Thought-provoking homework assignments and engaging hands-on projects are presented with each chapter, and an Instructor's Curriculum Guide also is available.
Instructor’s Curriculum Guide binder:
PowerPoint slides, sample tests and quizzes, grading rubrics, teacher project preparation, more-- material in printed form in 3-ring binder; also on CD for easy modification of all materials. Instructor's Guide not sold separately. Available only with textbook purchase. $195.00
