Foundations of Engineering & Technology, 7th Edition
Author: Dr. R. Thomas Wright, Dr. Greg J. Strimel, and Dr. Michael E. Grubbs
Foundations of Engineering & Technology has been fully revised by leading educators for a modern generation. The text illustrates how technology affects the world in which we live and how engineering is needed to create technology. Students will learn why technological systems work the way they do and why an engineering design process is needed to create any technological system. The areas of technology discussed in the Standards for Technological Literacy, as well as corresponding areas of engineering, are explored following an in-depth look at the engineering design process. Numerous student-friendly features provide practical examples of the impacts of technology and engineering on our world. STEM Applications and Engineering Design Challenges help students apply chapter content to real-world situations. This book is fully correlated to the Standards for Technological Literacy.
