Exploring Engineering: An Introduction to Engineering and Design

Return to Book Page. Preview — Exploring Engineering by Philip Kosky. Engineers solve problems, and work on emerging challenges in a wide range of areas important to improving quality of life; areas like sustainable energy, access to clean water, and improved communications and health care technologies.

The three part organization of the text reinforces these areas, making this an ideal introduction for anyone interested in exploring the various fields of engineering and learning how engineers work to solve problems. Additional discussions on what engineers do, and the distinctions among engineers, technicians, and managers Chapter 1 NEW: Discussions of Design for Six Sigma integrated into Part III on the design process An Engineering Ethics Decision Matrix is introduced in Chapter 1 and used throughout the book to pose ethical challenges and explore ethical decision-making in an engineering context Lists of "Top Engineering Achievements" and "Top Engineering Challenges" help put the material in context and show engineering as a vibrant discipline involved in solving societal problems Hardcover , pages.

The term equivalence ratio,? The key points to understanding combustion and the field of chemical engineering are the concepts of: Atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions? Stoichiometry , a "chemical algebra" method? Air-to-fuel ratio, a measure of the amount of air present when combustion occurs?

Heating value, the amount of heat produced The principal tool introduced earlier in this chapter is stoichiome The principal tool introduced earlier in this chapter is stoichiometry , the conservation of matter measured in appropriate aggregates. It is used with control boundaries chosen to emphasize input and output streams of various processes.
