Appendix A: Fundamentals of Engineering Examination
Vector Mechanics for Engineers helps students analyze problems in a simple and logical manner and then apply basic principles to their solutions, encouraging a strong conceptual understanding of these basic principles. Offering a unified presentation of the principles of kinetics and a systematic problem-solving approach, the text has proven to be an effective teaching tool, especially when paired with the digital resources available in Connect. The addition of Case Studies in every chapter are based on actual structures and systems, include failures, provide students with real-world engineering applications. And Sample Problems, liberally used at the end of each lesson, align with the SMART methodology to amplify the neat and orderly work students should cultivate in their own solutions.
