This title covers all mathematics components for the BTEC National Engineering qualification and provides a perfect guide for students on a variety of courses including motor building studies, architecture and motor vehicle technology.
A clearly written and easily accessible textbook that encourages independent study, covering all the core material required for the BTEC First Certificate and Diploma. Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, along with review questions and worked mathematical examples, all of which relate to real-world engineering contexts. Students will gain a valuable insight into various areas of engineering technology and related industries, providing a potential springboard to further training, qualifications, or suitable employment. For those students wishing to progress to BTEC National, this textbook covers all the vital material required as a prerequisite to NVQ Level 3. New in this edition: • Updated in line with the 2010 changes to the BTEC First specifications • Includes detailed information on assessment, featuring example questions and answers • Layout and design changes provide extra clarity
This course book covers the compulsory core units of the 2010 BTEC First Engineering schemes from Edexcel. It gives full coverage of the common core units for the certificate/diploma (units one and two), plus the additional compulsory units for diploma students (units three and four), for all pathways.
Automotive technicians and students need a firm grasp of science and technology in order to fully appreciate and understand how mechanisms and systems of modern vehicles work. Automotive Science and Mathematics presents the necessary principles and applications with all the examples and exercises relating directly to motor vehicle technology and repair, making it easy for automotive students and apprentices to relate the theory back to their working practice. The coverage of this book is based on the syllabus requirements of the BTEC First in Vehicle Technology, BTEC National in Vehicle Repair and Technology, and the IMI Certificate and Diploma in Vehicle Maintenance and Repair, but will help all automotive students and apprentices at levels 2 and 3 and up to and including HNC/HND, foundation and first degree with their studies and in achieving the Key Skill 'Application of Number' at levels 2 and 3. The book is designed to cater for both light and heavy vehicle courses. Full worked solutions of most exercises are available as a free download for lecturers only from http://textbooks.elsevier.com. Allan Bonnick is a motor vehicle education and training consultant and was formerly Head of Motor Vehicle Engineering, Eastbourne College. He is the author of several established automotive engineering textbooks.
Now in its eighth edition, Bird’s Basic Engineering Mathematics has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams. Mathematical theories are explained in a straightforward manner, supported by practical engineering examples and applications to ensure that readers can relate theory to practice. Some 1,000 engineering situations/problems have been ‘flagged-up’ to help demonstrate that engineering cannot be fully understood without a good knowledge of mathematics. The extensive and thorough coverage makes this a great text for introductory level engineering courses – such as for aeronautical, construction, electrical, electronic, mechanical, manufacturing engineering and vehicle technology – including for BTEC First, National and Diploma syllabuses, City & Guilds Technician Certificate and Diploma syllabuses, and even for GCSE revision. Its companion website provides extra materials for students and lecturers, including full solutions for all 1,700 further questions, lists of essential formulae, multiple choice tests, and illustrations, as well as full solutions to revision tests for course instructors.
"John Bird's approach to mathematics, based on numerous worked examples and interactive problems, is ideal for vocational students who require an entry-level textbook. Theory is kept to a minimum, with the emphasis firmly placed on problem-solving skills, making this a thoroughly practical introduction to the basic mathematics engineering that students need to master. The extensive and thorough topic coverage makes this an ideal introductory textbook for vocational engineering courses, including the BTEC National Specifications. Now in its sixth edition, Basic Engineering Mathematics has helped thousands of students to succeed in their exams. The new edition includes a section at the start of each chapter to explain why the content is important and how it relates to real life. It is also supported by a fully updated companion website with resources for both students and lecturers. The text contains over 750 worked problems and it has full solutions to all 1600 further questions contained in the 161 practice exercises. All 420 illustrations used in the text can be downloaded for use in the classroom"--
The definition and solution of engineering problems relies on the ability to represent systems and their behaviour in mathematical terms. Mathematics for Electrical Technicians 4/5 provides a simple and practical guide to the fundamental mathematical skills essential to technicians and engineers. This second edition has been revised and expanded to cover the BTEC Higher - 'Mathematics for Engineers' module for Electrical and Electronic Engineering Higher National Certificates and Diplomas. It will also meet the needs of first and second year undergraduates studying electrical engineering.
First Published in 2010. This is a new edition of a well established book which has sold 7000 copies in its current edition, and covers all of the 6 mandatory units of the 2010 BTEC Level 3 Engineering specification. The BTEC National Engineering qualifications in the UK attract over 10,000 students per year and are recognised by industry as appropriate qualifications, giving the required skills to entrants and trainees to the Engineering industry. Key points and definitions highlight the most important concepts and hundreds of activities and worked examples help put the theory in context. Questions throughout the text, with answers provided, allow students to test their knowledge as they go, while end of unit review questions are ideal for exam revision and set course work.
