These guided activities were written because much research has shown that more learning takes place when the student is actively engaged and when ideas and concepts are developed by the student, rather than being presented by an authority - a textbook or an instructor.

The applied engineering experiments in this book are designed to cover some fundamental hands-on skills in engineering practice. Topics include metrology for dimensional and temperature measurements, properties and behavior of solid materials, properties and behavior of fluids, and product design and prototype. These experiments will help students transform the meaning of science and engineering principles into understanding and apply them in hands-on activities.
