An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering

I purchased the book used from textbookcharlie, and I have to say, I am extremely impressed with the condition of the book. It is in great condition, although used, and it looks brand new. It also arrived much earlier than I expected.Being a high school student, I wanted something that was easy to read, had diagrams, but wasn't too dumbed down. Overall, this is a great book for beginners and early level college students.The book seems to have lots of info and engineering problems/examples. It explains ME both in a qualitative and quantitative sense, through diagrams, stories, explanations, etc. and through math problems, equations, etc. It hilights the different principles in mechanical engineering and the info is very up to date. It also uses examples from history to convey info about mechanical engineering, and engineering design, skills, etc.My only problem though was the price. I don't think the book should be as pricey as it is, but then again, all textbooks are like that. Buy it used.Overall, this is a great book for anyone looking to get a taste of mechanical engineering study, and i'd recommend it.

good book

Not a bad book. Gives you the information needed to get through an introductory mechanical engineering class.

Very useful

The book is very useful. I recommend Chegg solutions for the problems in the book. Helps save time on homework.

Met my needs for the required text book for MAE 1502 at UCCS.

good condition

I bought the book for my ME class. This books explains a lot and I like how its layed out.

Was a great find!!!
