Introduction to Engineering: Modeling and Problem Solving

by Jay B. Brockman

In this groundbreaking new text, Jay Brockman helps students acquire the engineering mindset, providing them with the core knowledge and skills all engineers need to succeed.   Through clear explanations and real-world examples―like how to provide water for rural communities in developing nations― Introduction to Engineering teaches students to see the world through the eyes of an engineer, looking at how engineers apply science and technology to solve problems facing society today.  Introduction to Engineering grew out of a course the author helped develop over the past decade at Notre Dame, and this approach has been field-tested and developed into a model for other schools.
