Engineering A Level: Compulsory Units for AS and A Level Engineering

Description:

Engineering A Level provides a chapter by chapter match to the compulsory AS and A2 units from Edexcel. Full coverage is given to the three units required at AS Level, and the 3 additional A2 units required for completion of the A Level award.

Students following the GCE courses will find this book essential reading, as it covers all the material they will be following through the duration of their study. Knowledge-check questions and activities are included throughout, along with learning summaries, innovative ‘Another View’ features, and applied maths integrated alongside the appropriate areas of engineering study. All examples relate directly (and exclusively) to engineering practice, to emphasise application of theory in real-world engineering contexts.

The result is a clear, straightforward and easily accessible text. The book offers a valuable insight into various areas of engineering technology and related industries, providing a potential springboard to further training, eventual progression to qualifications within higher education, or to suitable employment within the engineering sector.

A companion website offers a variety of student resources providing practical assignments to supplement the material in the textbook, including using CAD / CAM, computer modelling (using spreadsheets), and Visio templates, shapes and symbols available for download.

描述：
《工程學A Level》提供了與Edexcel的AS和A2單元相對應的章節。全面涵蓋了AS Level所需的三個單元，以及完成A Level獎項所需的3個額外的A2單元。

遵循GCE課程的學生會發現這本書是必讀的，因為它涵蓋了他們在學習期間將要學習的所有材料。書中包含了知識檢查問題和活動，以及學習摘要、創新的“另一種觀點”功能，以及應用數學與相應的工程學習領域相結合。所有的例子都直接（且專門）與工程實踐相關，以強調理論在真實世界工程背景中的應用。

結果是一本清晰、簡單易懂且易於接觸的教材。該書提供了對各個工程技術領域和相關行業的寶貴見解，為進一步培訓、最終在高等教育中獲得資格或在工程行業中找到合適的就業提供了潛在的跳板。

配套網站提供了各種學生資源，包括補充教材的實際任務，包括使用CAD / CAM、電腦建模（使用電子表格）和Visio模板，形狀和符號可供下載。
