Principles of Applied Engineering

Principles of Applied Engineering places your students in the driver's seat as they explore the diverse fields of engineering through scenarios and group projects that engage them in the problem-solving process.
• Beginning with the first chapter, an engaging opening scenario and design task introduce critical problem-solving concepts and hands-on activities.
• The chapters that follow help students explore and interact with the discipline, professional concepts, and various fields of engineering, including how their different types of technologies are used.
• A final chapter brings it all together with a scenario and engineering design task to help students demonstrate their learning and make informed career decisions.
• Design Activities and Projects throughout the text engage students in hands-on practice with problem-solving, critical thinking, and application of chapter content, including robotic design, windmill power, chemical technology, and more.
• Chapter Design is streamlined to help make studying easier:
• Clear presentation of academic language throughout each chapter.
• Highly visual design, including color photos, line drawings, and bulleted lists create a clear, easy-to-read presentation.
• One-column design and chunked content help students accesses chapter content and grasp the scope of the chapter.
• End-of-chapter review and assessment activities, such as vocabulary building, content review, knowledge application, and critical thinking questions, guide student learning and provide assessment opportunities.
• Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS):
• Content aligns to the TEKS and the English Language Proficiency
