Based on current standards, it offers a non-discipline approach that is equally accessible to the readers/students of mechanics, architecture or electronics, and weaves many examples and exercises throughout to expose users to real-world problems and situations. MARKET: Appropriate for readers interested in design/industrial technology or engineering technology.
