Specifically, it has been written to be the textbook for Engineering Mechanics: Statics, the first course in the Engineering Mechanics series offered in most university-level engineering programs. This book’s content should prepare you for subsequent classes covering Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics and Mechanics of Materials. At its core, Engineering Statics provides the tools to solve static equilibrium problems for rigid bodies. The additional topics of resolving internal loads in rigid bodies and computing area moments of inertia are also included as stepping stones for later courses. We have endeavored to write in an approachable style and provide many questions, examples, and interactives for you to engage with and learn from.10652021-09-18T06:10:04Z2024-01-22T14:52:27ZBasic Engineering Science - A Systems, Accounting, and Modeling Approach<img alt="Read more about Basic Engineering Science - A Systems, Accounting, and Modeling Approach" title="Basic Engineering Science - A Systems, Accounting, and Modeling Approach cover image" class="cover " width="611" height="771" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mjg3MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--c0126cc42cc1163c747b5415024f956cdcf44c9e/adsf.JPG" />This textbook is based on a different paradigm for organizing an engineering science core --- a systems, accounting and modeling approach --- that emphasizes the common, underlying concepts of engineering science. Although this approach is not new, as most graduate students have been struck by this idea sometime during their graduate education, its use as the organizing principle for an undergraduate curriculum is new. By focusing on the underlying concepts and stressing the similarities between subjects that are often perceived by students (and taught by faculty) as unconnected topics, this approach provides engineering students a foundational framework for recognizing and building connections as they travel through their education.11202022-01-08T00:22:09Z2024-01-22T14:52:29ZBuilding with Nature & Beyond: Principles for designing nature based engineering solutions<img alt="Read more about Building with Nature & Beyond: Principles for designing nature based engineering solutions" title="Building with Nature & Beyond: Principles for designing nature based engineering solutions cover image" class="cover " width="300" height="371" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzI4MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--6dabe77b218b59af4a7a1b750474f785a4e07139/submission_45_62_coverImage_en_US_t.png" />This book is based upon the edX MOOCs Engineering: Building with Nature and Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature. The Engineering: Building with Nature MOOC, explores the use of natural materials and ecological processes in achieving effective and sustainable hydraulic infrastructure designs, distilling Engineering and Ecological Design Principles. In the Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature course, the missing element of Social Design Principles is developed and taught. Join us in exploring the interface between hydraulic engineering, nature and society!11212022-01-08T00:50:22Z2024-01-22T14:52:38ZEvidence-based Software Engineering<img alt="Read more about Evidence-based Software Engineering" title="Evidence-based Software Engineering cover image" class="cover " width="446" height="630" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzI4MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--cd1f340cfd8195698a5bccbf4417c2a2445a6003/ESEUR-Cover_630-446.jpg" />This book discusses what is currently known about software engineering, based on an analysis of all the publicly available data. This aim is not as ambitious as it sounds, because there is not a great deal of data publicly available. The intent is to provide material that is useful to professional developers working in industry; until recently researchers in software engineering have been more interested in vanity work, promoted by ego and bluster. The material is organized in two parts, the first covering software engineering and the second the statistics likely to be needed for the analysis of software engineering data.12022023-03-10T14:55:37Z2024-01-22T14:52:41ZIntroduction to Mechanical Engineering Design<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design" title="Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDU5NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--076ccfe0bae8459534e669fbfadeea4b79b3f032/Baughman-2022-IntroMechEngDes-350x453.png" />A collection of readings and exercises aligned with the course, ME 270, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design, at Iowa State University.

It may also be used for self-learning of fundamental concepts of classical thermodynamics.12802022-11-10T17:06:29Z2024-01-22T14:52:35ZBiomedical Engineering for Africa<img alt="Read more about Biomedical Engineering for Africa" title="Biomedical Engineering for Africa cover image" class="cover " width="200" height="283" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDI3MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7e84f63223b93283f5749e260090ad7b12e73481/submission_24_24_coverImage_t.png" />Health technology innovation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including countries in Africa, falls far short of meeting the healthcare needs of these settings. The result is a heavy reliance on products and technologies imported from industrialised countries that are often not suited to, or sustainable for, LMICs. Appropriate healthcare products for LMICs are best developed in these countries, where local knowledge and understanding of needs, context and available resources may be incorporated into designs and implementation plans. The objectives for enabling health technology development in LMICs include: 1) expanding the base of expertise through research training programmes with a problem-solving focus; 2) stimulating new knowledge, approaches and solutions by enabling innovation; and 3) integrating research communities within and across institutions to build critical mass. The field of biomedical engineering is central to health technology innovation. This book is a response to the need for biomedical engineering capacity in Africa. It is grounded in the African context. It serves as a resource for academics and students in biomedical engineering, for those interested in entering the field in any capacity and for practitioners at every stage of product development. University leaders intent on establishing new biomedical engineering programmes or departments, may draw on the content for guidance on structuring their offerings. The book reaches beyond Africa, as it is relevant to other LMIC settings, and provides insights to guide global health initiatives focused on technology innovation.12832022-11-14T19:04:56Z2024-02-05T22:55:37ZEngineering Mechanics: Statics<img alt="Read more about Engineering Mechanics: Statics" title="Engineering Mechanics: Statics cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDI4MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--035b79dc68ce8e3fa12f232ab3cbae98470d51de/cairn-5598199_1920-768x1024.jpeg" />Introduction to engineering mechanics: statics, for those who love to learn. Concepts include: particles and rigid body equilibrium equations, distributed loads, shear and moment diagrams, trusses, method of joints and sections, & inertia.13202023-01-25T13:37:42Z2024-01-22T14:52:38ZBasic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis<img alt="Read more about Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis" title="Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis cover image" class="cover " width="237" height="314" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDQ3OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--103735f76df76607eb0c037930ccb67f4669827b/Screen%20Shot%202023-01-25%20at%207.37.27%20AM.png" />In Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis, Stephen B. Vardeman and J. Marcus Jobe stress the practical over the theoretical. Step by step, students get real engineering data and scenario examples along with chapter-long case studies that illustrate concepts in realistic, thoroughly detailed situations. This approach encourages students to work through the material by carrying out data collection and analysis projects from problem formulation through the preparation of professional technical reports—just as if they were on the job.13962023-04-10T21:20:00Z2024-03-19T04:40:33ZPrealgebra via Python Programming: First Steps to Perform Large Scale Computational Tasks in the Sciences and Engineerings<img alt="Read more about Prealgebra via Python Programming: First Steps to Perform Large Scale Computational Tasks in the Sciences and Engineerings" title="Prealgebra via Python Programming: First Steps to Perform Large Scale Computational Tasks in the Sciences and Engineerings cover image" class="cover " width="806" height="1047" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTQyOSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--b172bb0681a2206c609b0016ce0b884d2209bfbc/Screenshot%202023-08-22%20at%2010.22.25%20PM.png" />This book was written for students and instructors who want to learn how to use a computer for other than the most common uses, such as web browsing, document creation, or paying bills online. This book is for anyone who wants to perform computational tasks that they design. In other words, if you wish to learn how to program a computer, this book is for you. Because prealgebra is a subject that practically everyone is supposed to learn in grade school, it provides a platform to introduce basic computer programming concepts. Consequently, this book should also be of interest to students in middle or high school who want to learn how to program, and who are willing to invest the time and effort in learning a programming language that they could continue using throughout their schooling and in their professional life. Similarly, this book could also be of interest to pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers wishing to have at their disposal a complementary tool to assist in fostering understanding, competency, and interest in mathematics among their students. This book can be integrated with the teachers’ curriculum as way to tackle non-traditional math problems using an inexpensive modern computer language. By the end of the book, a reader will have learned enough to be able to write a preliminary, step-by-step one variable equation solver that can be expanded in the future to use with more complex equations. In other words, by the end of the book, you will be able to write code that programs their machines to solve equations. This code is foundational and readers are ecouraged to learn on their own how to build on it to suit their mathematics learning needs.
