The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering series is designed to provide a very simple, non-technical introduction to the fields of engineering for people with no experience in the fields. Each book in the series focuses on introducing the reader to the various concepts in the fields of engineering conceptually rather than mathematically. These books are a great resource for high school students that are considering majoring in one of the engineering fields, or for anyone else that is curious about engineering but has no background in the field.

Books in the series:
1. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Chemical Engineering
2. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Computer Engineering
3. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Electrical Engineering
4. The Beginner’s Guide to Engineering: Mechanical Engineering

    As a mechanical engineering major, I have found this book to be very good information. The material is a great review for classes I have taken and I expect the continued information will help me in my continued tenure at school and work.

    It's all physics. This is mandatory for mechanical engineering. You need additional mechanical engineering books to go with this. This is a basic course of phycis that deals with force mass weight velocity on how it affects on structure

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good but mistakes should have been caught.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018

    I am only up to page 53 and do not have any background in mechanics. So far I think this book does what the titles indicates. It provides a basic introduction to a subject for readers who aren't at all familiar with it. It does have some math, but one can't address any engineering or scientific discipline without addressing the math to some extent. But the explanations are fairly simple and the information presented in manageable amounts. The reason for the three-star rating is that the book suffers, as one reviewer pointed out, from editing issues. Things are referred to that don't actually appear in the examples but should have and so should have been caught during editing. For example, in section 1.6 on p. 46 in a discussion on the inverse of a vector, the author says that a positive direction is opposite to a negative direction. Clear enough. He then says " '10 N to the east' is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to '10 N straight west.' " So far so good and this sentence is followed by a diagram of two lines pointing in opposite directions. He continues: "The magnitude of the vector can also be presented as either positive or negative. Therefore, '10 N to the east' is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to '10 N straight east.' " What? Then he says, "The negative sign translates to the same force pointing in the opposite direction." But there isn't a negative sign in the sentence. And that sort of thing just makes the reader backup and have to figure out what the author really meant to write. This isn't the first mistake of this type I've encountered in the book, and it isn't a deal breaker, but it does make the book a bit of a chore to read because of the confusion such mistakes create. Nor do such mistakes inspire confidence in the author's grasp of the subject. But so far I am satisfied that I got what I wanted -- a book that introduces mechanical engineering as simply as is reasonably possible. It's a good first step for the uninitiated. If I get through this book, maybe I'll look for something a little more in depth.
