This Revision Workbook delivers hassle-free hands-on practice for the externally assessed units.

For students on BTEC National Engineering courses. This textbook covers key points and definitions, highlighting the most important concepts of the 2010 BTEC National course, and hundreds of activities and worked examples help put theory in context. Questions throughout the book allow students to test their knowledge as they go, while end-of-unit review questions are ideal for exam revision and set course work. The companion website includes interactive quizzes and a comprehensive 2D CAD package.

"Mechanical Engineering Principles offers a student-friendly introduction to core engineering topics that does not assume any previous background in engineering studies, and as such can act as a core textbook for several engineering courses. Bird and Ross introduce mechanical principles and technology through examples and applications rather than theory. This approach enables students to develop a sound understanding of the engineering principles and their use in practice. Theoretical concepts are supported by over 600 problems and 400 worked answers. The new edition will match up to the latest BTEC National specifications and can also be used on mechanical engineering courses from Levels 2 to 4"--

A clearly written and easily accessible textbook that encourages independent study, covering all the core material required for the BTEC First Certificate and Diploma. Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, along with review questions and worked mathematical examples, all of which relate to real-world engineering contexts. Students will gain a valuable insight into various areas of engineering technology and related industries, providing a potential springboard to further training, qualifications, or suitable employment. For those students wishing to progress to BTEC National, this textbook covers all the vital material required as a prerequisite to NVQ Level 3. New in this edition: • Updated in line with the 2010 changes to the BTEC First specifications • Includes detailed information on assessment, featuring example questions and answers • Layout and design changes provide extra clarity

Used alongside the students' text, Higher National Engineering 2nd edition, this pack offers a complete suite of lecturer resource material and photocopiable handouts for the compulsory core units of the 2003 BTEC Higher Nationals in Engineering. Full coverage is given of the common core units for HNC/D (units 1 - 3) for all pathways, as well as the two different Engineering Principles units (unit 5) for mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering, and the additional unit required at HND for these pathways (Engineering Design - unit 6). The authors provide all the resources needed by a busy lecturer, as well as a bank of student-centred practical work and revision material, which will enable students to gain the skills, knowledge and understanding they require. This pack will save a course team many hours' work preparing handouts and assignments, and is freely photocopiable within the purchasing institution. The pack includes: * Exercises to support and develop work in the accompanying student text * Planned projects which will enable students to display a wide range of skills and use their own initiative * Reference material for use as hand-outs * Background on running the new HNC/HND courses * Tutor's notes supporting activities in the students' book and resource pack

First Published in 2010. This is a new edition of a well established book which has sold 7000 copies in its current edition, and covers all of the 6 mandatory units of the 2010 BTEC Level 3 Engineering specification. The BTEC National Engineering qualifications in the UK attract over 10,000 students per year and are recognised by industry as appropriate qualifications, giving the required skills to entrants and trainees to the Engineering industry. Key points and definitions highlight the most important concepts and hundreds of activities and worked examples help put the theory in context. Questions throughout the text, with answers provided, allow students to test their knowledge as they go, while end of unit review questions are ideal for exam revision and set course work.

Written by an expert author team of BTEC teachers and professionals, this Student Book includes: full coverage of all three components, structured to match the spec content broken down into 1 hour lessons to help with your planning and delivery plenty of case studies and examples that students can relate to additional features including key terms, 'did you know' sections and plenty of assessment practice
