mechanical engineering

Discusses how mechanical engineers design and innovate machines, and explains the steps they follow in the engineering design process.

Text and illustrations show how to make simple moving machines with common materials such as rubber bands, bottles, an electric toothbrush, pencils, and more.

Age-appropriate critical thinking questions, carefully leveled text, and vibrant photos help young readers learn all about cranes.

"Carefully leveled text and vibrant photographs introduce early readers to the career of mechanical engineer. Includes infographics, an activity, glossary, and index"--Provided by the publisher.

This book lays out what qualifications and training are necessary to become a operating and stationary engineer.

Provides step-by-step instructions for creating 10 hands-on engineering projects from recycled and easy-to-find materials, covering scientific concepts, such as potential, kinetic, and electrical energy; principles of flight; weights and balances; pulleys and levers; laws of motion; and more.

This book covers some more advanced tasks such as soldering and welding, and using CAD to design the robot.

Describes a wide variety of machines from the past, present, and future, including what they can do and who invented them.

Explores the history and feats of mechanical engineering, including the role of mechanical engineering in solving current world problems, exploring space, and contributing to advances in health and medicine. Includes a hands-on project, information on career planning, additional resources, and a glossary.

Planes, trains, and automobiles—these are just some of the many achievements of mechanical engineering. This volume will show readers that they do not have to know complex equations to appreciate the impact the field has had on the world. Introduces young readers to the machines and engines that power the devices, vehicles, and appliances they encounter on a daily basis.
