Computer Science

Appropriate for introductory undergraduate courses in Engineering Computing with C++.

Presents a consistent methodology for solving engineering problems through an introduction to the fundamental capabilities of C++, the language of choice for many practicing engineers and scientists.

• From best-selling Engineering Computing author Delores Etter, whose books have helped to train 500,000 engineers and scientists.

• At 160 pages this book introduces the basics of C++ programming, and allows instructors to cover additional materials in the same class in the same semester.

• Less expensive than a full-sized text, allows instructors to reasonably require students to buy additional books and materials for the course.

• Provides coverage of all the material students will need to get them started using the C++ programming language for engineering problem solving.

• Illustrates the problem-solving process with C++ through a variety of engineering examples and applications. Pg.___

• Maintains an engineering and scientific problem-solving emphasis by reinforcing a five-step process for solving engineering problems: State the problem, Describe the input and output information, Work a simple example by hand, Develop an algorithm and convert it to a computer program, and Test the solution with a variety of data. Pg.___

• Emphasizes real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems, centered around a theme of Engineering Grand Challenges. These include: Prediction of weather, climate, and global change; Computerized speech understanding; Mapping of the human genome; Improvements in vehicle performance; Enhanced oil and gas recovery. Pg.___

• Introduces software engineering concepts, focusing on the design and implementation of user-friendly and reusable computer solutions; and readability and documentation in the development of all programs. Additional discussions include software life cycle; portability; maintenance; modularity; abstraction; reusability; and structured programming. Pg.___

• Provides a number of practice opportunities and problems to reinforce the material presented.

• Includes excellent student aids, margin notes, style guidelines for writing in C++, key terms, and a C++ statement summary that allows the text to be used as a reference. Pg.___
