Introduction to Engineering

Modeling and Problem Solving

About this book

Written through the eyes of an engineer, this book offers readers an introduction to the field that looks at how engineers apply science and technology to solve problems facing society. It first focuses on how engineers represent and solve engineering problems and then describes some of the different kinds of mathematical models that are used. Readers will also find a whole section dedicated to MATLAB, an integrated environment for technical computing.
