Engineering Science is a comprehensive textbook designed for all vocational and pre-degree courses in engineering, fully aligned with the latest vocational courses at Level 2 and preparing students for advancement to Level 3. Adopting a subject-led approach, it systematically covers essential scientific principles necessary for engineering studies, expanding beyond core science to include practical applications in the real world and fundamental mechanical and electrical principles required across most engineering programs.
Equipped with numerous worked examples and problems, the book is complemented by a complete set of answers. The seventh edition offers detailed coverage of basic arithmetic, algebraic, and graphical methods needed for engineering courses, ensuring alignment with sections A and B of the BTEC Level 2 unit. It introduces basic principles of calculus in a new chapter and provides additional material on applications such as typical properties of materials and their historical impacts on bridge structures, weightlessness, snooker, thermal insulation, LEDs, and buildings. The book also delves into the engineering behind significant events like the collapse of the World Trade Centre.
