Somerecommended beginner engineering books include "Introduction to Engineering: Modeling and Problem Solving" by Jay Brockman, "Engineering Fundamentals: An Introduction to Engineering" by Saeed Moaveni, and "The Way Things Work: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Technology" by David Macaulay.
Yes, there are many engineering books specifically written for beginners. These books often provide a basic overview of engineering principles and concepts, making them a great starting point for those new to the field.
The best way to choose a beginner engineering book is to consider your specific interests and goals within the field of engineering. Some books may focus on specific areas such as mechanical or electrical engineering, while others may provide a broader overview. It's also helpful to read reviews and ask for recommendations from others in the engineering field.
Yes, there are many online resources and e-books available for beginner engineering. Some popular options include "Engineering for Beginners" by Anthony Croft, "Fundamentals of Engineering Design" by Barry Hyman, and "Introduction to Engineering Design" by Andrew Samuel and John Weir.
Beginner engineering books can be a great supplement to your studies or career by providing a solid foundation of engineering principles and concepts. They can also help you stay updated on new technologies and advancements in the field. Additionally, many beginner engineering books offer practical examples and exercises to apply your knowledge in real-world situations.
Well, I'm a little bit disappointed that these books aren't in the WSP series (Nos 50 & 51, they would have been). But having said that, I can understand that Ketan will wish to capitalize on the series since it used machines supplied by Arc.
I'm afraid mine is not due to be delivered until Monday according to the Royal Mail Text Message so can't let you know of an ISBN number if they have one but at the moment they are only available from ARC.
The books mentioned in Georges posts are great. They are based on older machines where the basic principals of turning or milling are the same as those used in the modern day machines. Most of the target audience of those books had some engineering background or access to machines in metalwork at school, so there is in my opinion some presumption that the reader has some level of understanding of terminology in those books.
Apologies Peter. The idea of WPS was considered earlier. In terms of sales, having issue 50 and 51 in WPS would have automatically generated fast and potentially greater sales, especially to those who have the complete WPS series in their collection. But of what use would that have been to the total beginner who has yet to know what WPS is?
We wanted to see the pictures in colour, content laid out for easier understanding and reading, on high quality paper, and in hardback. The technical attributes for the books are totally different from what was possible with WPS or Crowood. These comments are made without any disrespect to those publishers or their profession.
For what it's worth, WPS Books 48 & 49 do actually have coloured photos inside, but as you intimate, the books are not hardback, and some of mine are distinctly the worse for wear, which shows just how much I read them. And for the non-cognoscenti, the WPS books are A5 which means in turn that any photos and/or sketches are necessarily going to be limited in size.
So, where does that leave me? Well, I'm no beginner, mind you, neither am I an expert, and I do have all the magazine articles (MEW or Model Engineer's Workshop before I have to bend over again!) along with a database in which the articles are listed together with a brief note about the content. And furthermore, given my current age, my current state of health along with the fact that if I get Covid-19, that'll most likely be it for me, I can't see me buying these books.
Well my copy arrived today and I must say that Alan, Ketan and his team of proof readers have done a very good job with the layout and typesetting of the book. The large format makes it possible to reproduce many of the photos at much larger sizes than was possible in the mag. This combined with the inclusion of additional images and links makes it a lot easier for a beginner to see and follow what is being described.
As mentioned by Ketan the ISBN numbers on the book do indeed correspond to his item numbers which can be found by clicking on the ARC advert at the top of the page (assuming you don't all have add blockers on).
I think the reasoning for linking back to the website is that it contains a lot more detail on the various items than could be included in the catalogue, typical example of milling cutter info on web site. It would obviously also require the reader to have a catalogue in their possession and it to be the one that has any page refs in it which would change from cat to cat.
Thank you for your comments and observations. We at ARC are glad that you are pleased with your purchase. We know from experience how difficult it is to please you, which includes the choice of delivery systems we use.
The long-term aim is for other companies around the world to sell the books. So for example, if AUSEE in Australia sells the books, the APG will not be supplied to them. It would be wrong for AUSEEs customers to be directed to ARCs website.
I understand your concern over lack of INDEX. We debated this concern in-house, and once again, whilst I respect your views, after taking many factors into consideration (without going into detail), we felt that the CONTENTS at the beginning was sufficient.

Hey,
I am currently completing my engineering apprenticeship and i am very new to the marine engineering world. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips or any good study material as i am struggling on where to start. Hope this forum can help any other beginners also:)
Also online review of the USCG questions helps quite a bit to define where you are and what you need to concentrate your efforts on. I use USCG Exam Prep because it is free and has an expansive section on Engine subjects:
I think oral exams would be great. Allows for real explanations and going through reasoning rather than the answer itself. The problem with these tests is half the questions are trying to trick you so you spend all your effort figuring out the trick rather than deepening your actual knowledge.
The world's first beginner's guide to genetic engineering is here! With a combination of real-world, STEM hands-on activities and fundamental concepts, this book has many levels of depth so you can choose how you want to learn. Are you a hands-on or visual learner? Each chapter starts with one (or more) hands-on exercise to get you familiar with the scientific concepts in the chapter. The second half is the "Fundamentals" section, which goes in-deep into the heart of the matter with examples, analogies, colored illustrations, diagrams, all the while linking back to the hands-on exercises, giving you that solid, practical knowledge you can use.
Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero beginner's guide book makes use of Amino Labs' ecosystem of biotechnology experiments so that you can do real scientific exercises at home, in the classroom, or a makerspace.

If you are not ready to complete the hands-on exercises but want to familiarize yourself, your students, or kids with the fundamental concepts of biotechnology, no problem! Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is written with many examples and analogies to help explain concepts and includes more than 130 color illustrations and breakout discussions. There are even recommended web searches and videos to guide you on an interactive learning journey. Unlike other textbook options that offer only information, Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero follows a narrative to make the learning journey captivating.
Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is the most cutting-edge and accessible technical book about genetic engineering and biotechnology. Whether you are looking to learn more about and participate in science fairs, DIYbio, the iGEM or Biodesign competitions, teach middle school and high school students, set up a genetic biohacking lab, or want to see what a biotechnology career could be, and even prepare for university & AP biology, this book can help!
