Description

Features

• Five Step Problem Solving Process - Reinforces the development of problem-solving skills

• Uses top-down design and stepwise refinement

• Engineering and Scientific Applications - incorporates real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems throughout the text

• Includes problems related to areas such as aerospace, electrical, mechanical, environmental, biomedical, power, and computer engineering

• Optional Numerical Techniques - includes techniques such as interpolation, linear modeling, root finding, and solutions to simultaneous equations

• Presents the topics using only a trigonometry and college algebra background

• Pointers and Structures - covers pointers and structures with a number of examples including dynamic memory allocation and linked lists

• Shows students how to use pointers and structures in arrays and functions

• Introduction to C++ - introduces students to object-oriented programming

• Presents the basic language features for working with objects and classes

• Non-technical Skills - presents some of the non-technical skills and capabilities needed by engineers in the 21st century

• Discusses important topics such as communication skills, the design/process/manufacture path, the world marketplace, ethics, and societal concerns

New To This Edition

• NEW - Theme based on the oceans and their role in the complex interactions of the earth's environment

• Enables students to solve real-world engineering and scientific problems while also learning about the important interactions within the earth's environment

• NEW - Problem Solving Sections in each chapter - emphasizes the new theme

• Enables students to use the new C statements presented in the chapter in an interesting application problem related to topics such as seawater composition, tides, waves, tsunamis, ocean circulation, hurricanes, and ice bergs

• NEW - Four-Color Insert to highlight the importance of the Oceans in the earth's environment

  This introductory-level C programming book is designed primarily for engineering students required to learn how to program.
  
  In Engineering Problem Solving with C, 4e, best-selling author, Delores Etter, uses real-world engineering and scientific examples and problems throughout the text. Solutions to the problems are developed using the language C and the author's signature five-step problem solving process. Since learning any new skill requires practice at a number of different levels of difficulty, four types of exercises are presented to develop problem-solving skills - Practice! problems, Modify! problems, Short-Answer problems, and Programming problems. The author's clear and precise style creates a highly accessible and readable text for students of all levels.
  
  The new theme for this edition is crime scene investigation (CSI).¿ Learning about the technology behind crime scene investigation is not only interesting to students, but it provides a number of problems to develop for C program solutions.¿
