mechanical engineering

Engineering is a growing field in our fast-developing world. How exactly do engineers create the infrastructure that we rely on? Engineers use science and math to design and build machines and structures, such as buildings, roads, and bridges. In this book, readers will learn about what engineering means, who studies it, and how they may apply engineering skills in their own lives. Using reader-friendly language, the text conveys key STEAM concepts in an easy-to-understand way. Bright photographs make the information pop.

"Simple text and full-color photography introduce beginning readers to mechanical engineers. Developed by literacy experts for students in kindergarten through third grade"--.

Simple text and pictures tell the true story of how fourteen-year-old William Kamkwamba of Malawi taught himself English so that he could read science books and learn how to build a windmill, giving electricity and a means for transporting water to his people.

"Super Scientist, Max Axiom, presents step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions for building a variety of machines"--Provided by publisher.

"Provides you with all the concept you need to know to understand the fundamental issues. Filled with helpful diagrams, photographs, further reading, and . . . features on the development of electrical and mechanical engineering, this book makes getting to grips with the subject as easy as possible. It includes the development of machines and materials, forces and how they are manipulated, gearing, and principles of movement and reliability"--OCLC.

"Did you know that the first mechanical engineers invented tools that made people more powerful? They proved that a rock tied to a stick made a better hammer than a plain rock. Discover more fascinating facts in Mechanical Engineer, a STEM Careers book"--Amazon.

What hands on jobs entail, what they pay, and future prospects are discussed along with insights from industry insiders.

"A mechanical engineer has a wide breadth of opportunities including designing the latest vehicles, improving manufacturing processes, and creating prosthetic limbs. Mechanical engineers are involved in products and systems from design to implementation. What the job entails, what it pays, and future prospects are discussed along with insights from industry insiders"--Provided by the publisher.

They fix spacecraft, dance, tell jokes, and even clean your carpet! From the tiniest robo-bees to gigantic factory machines, robotics is all around you.
