by Jay Smith

This databook is an essential handbook for every engineering student or professional.Engineers' Practical Databook provides a concise and useful source of up-to-date essential formula, charts, and data for the student or practising engineer, technologist, applied mathematician or undergraduate scientist. Unlike almost all other engineering handbooks out there, this one doesn't package itself as a heavy, expensive or cumbersome textbook, and doesn't contain any preamble or lengthy chapters of 'filler' material. You will find value cover-to-cover with all the essential formula, charts, and materials data. This handbook is suitable for use in support of Higher Education programmes, including Higher National Diplomas and accredited engineering degrees. Topics include the essentials of aerospace, civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical and general engineering. Chapters include Mathematics, Materials, Mechanics, Structures, Machines and Mechanisms, Electrical and Electronics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Systems, and Project Management. First Edition is in SI Units. - Easy to use - Chapters organised by module/discipline topic - Physical, geometric, thermal, chemical and electrical properties - All variables and units clearly defined - Essential technical data

Great engineers reference book

It contains enough material that I bet could get you through the EIT or FE LICENSE. divided up into topics all engineers of all disciplines and use or refresh you memory to solve real world problems including engineering management. Impress you managers when you look at their charts. If you need more problems to work or more in depth go to Schaum's outlines. Great Ebook for IPADS for school or work. Highly recommend. May be lacking in computer science. I would buy a handbook more specific. Stay away from textbooks as they charge way too much. Go international " it's legal". And chip in together (Study groups for homework) and rent the US VERSION. That my opinion. And you will need to be in a study group if you want to get through a Masters Degree. Problems are much much complex and require coming up with you own equations to solve problems. They always give partial credit and want you to get that B so they can keep the tuition flowing in.

Good book

Summarizes all you need to know as a mechanical engineer. Covers all topics, very handy reference guide. I highly recommend.

I read the reviews and bought it about a year ago. It has a lot important equations, figures, tables and units conversions like the FE Reference Handbook, and it doesn't have any boring essays on engineering economy and ethics, environment, business and professionalism etc. It's a small book, easy to keep in the desk draw and refer to. Highly recommend if you are an engineer or engineering student.

I've been through several textbooks and databooks, including Machinery's Handbook, the IMechE Handbook, and now Engineers' Practical Databook. I must say, this one has been probably the most useful. It's a small reference book, less than 200 pages - and this is broken into sections on different disciplines. It's low cost compared to other textbooks, and it's actually useful as a refresher and reference - Just about every 'standard' formula I can remember from engineering class is in there somewhere - and they have short little anecdotes explaining what the formula is used for. 5/5

Index Reference Books for Engineers

Personally my first reference book in engineering. These are practical formulas. I wish I knew about this book before, as I there’s a lot of references, I keep forgetting about, when flipping through all these, I was able to remember again. It’s got a good collection. I can unload trying to remember these and just remember be good practice now as I will just reference this book as much as I need too. Hope to find more books like this or improvements.

Formula book

This book is for those who want a Quick Look’s for formula you will need to do the job. Other than that this was not what I was looking for.
