An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
"All of the illustrations are appropriate, instructive, and helpful. The figures in Wickert's text are "clean", i.e., they are not overly complicated and they help the student see and better understand the fundamental concepts being studied.""I like the layout and level of the material--it works for my freshman students. It includes enough manufacturing content that I can make those majors feel included. It has a good range of homework problems.""Excellent use of contemporary set-aside items."
