Publisher's Synopsis
Engineering is not a subject studied in secondary schools, and unless students have relatives 'in the business', many students who undertake engineering courses are not really sure what to expect. Studying Engineering at University focuses on making the transition from school to uni as painless as possible. The book provides real life examples of how engineers go about things and gives practical tips for approaching engineering study tasks such as problem solving. The book's approach means that students from a wide diversity of backgrounds will find helpful suggestions on all aspects of study, from preparing for tutorials, to learning how to do technical writing, to studying for exams.
