Product Description
The fifth edition of Engineering Fundamentals And Problem Solving is written to motivate engineering students during their first year. . A complete introduction to the engineering field, this text will help students develop the skills to solving open-ended problems in SI and customary units while presenting solutions in a logical manner. Eide introduces students to subject areas that are common to engineering disciplines that require the application of fundamental engineering concepts.. . For those instructors who desire a shorter text to complement other application specific texts, McGraw-Hill offers cutomization through our Primis-Build a Book, or the BEST version of this text. Please see Eide's Introduction to Engineering Design and Problem Solving, 2nd edition, from the BEST series..

 Not worth your time or your money ... July 18, 2007

...Unfortunately, if you are an engineering student and forced to buy this as a textbook (the only reason to ever own it) this tome shall unjustly deprive you of both. The first eight chapters of the book wax philosophical on the various aspects of engineering. If you're in some kind of freshman engineering survey class, any engineering professor could lecture you on these general points and provide the same insight and then some. The second half of the book wanders all over the place - statistics, mechanics, electrical theory, etc. - information that will mean little until you have completed your freshman and sophomore engineering and physics classes, and then it will mean even less because everything is explained so generally and in such a shallow fashion. All I can say is that instructors who assign this paperweight as a textbook have forgotten how budget-conscious students need to be. The following is the table of contents for the fifth edition, published in 2007:
1 The Engineering Profession
2 Engineering Design - A Process
3 Engineering Solutions
4 Representation of Technical Information
5 Engineering Estimations and Approximations
6 Dimensions, Units, and Conversions
7 Preparation for Computer Solutions
8 Statistics
9 Mechanics
10 Material Balance
11 Electrical Theory
12 Energy
13 Engineering Economics
Appendix A Selected Topics from Algebra
Appendix B Trigonometry
Appendix C Graphics
Appendix D General
Appendix E Plane Surfaces
quality text January 12, 2007
One of the better text books I received recently. Text books always seem way over priced, so I'll ignore the cost factor and just focus on material. The book presented a wide range of ideas and concepts in a clear format that was easy to understand. Considering the amount of material it covered I think they did a good job of addressing the essentials without getting bogged down in endless examples and details.
First-year books? This is a very good example of a bad one. August 31, 1999

There is absolutely no reason to buy this book unless required. Homework is covered hardly at all, and the 'reviews' are meaningless.
This book is not worth the money. January 29, 1999

If you want to get ripped off, by this book. Homework is not even covered within the chapter it is from. I know from experience. However if you don't use homework for it then it is ok.
