""The book is used for an introductory course in computer applications using Excel and MATLAB. MATLAB is widely accepted as a first computation tool in numerous engineering programs"--"
"Introduction to Solid Modeling using SolidWorks primarily consists of chapter-long tutorials, which introduce both basic concepts in solid modeling (such as part modeling, drawing creation, and assembly modeling) and more advanced applications of solid modeling in engineering analysis and design (such as mechanism modeling, mold creation, sheet metal bending, and rapid prototyping). Each tutorial is organized as keystroke-level instruct ..."
""As design engineers and engineering professors, the authors have witnessed incredible changes in the way that products are designed and manufactured."
"The text Introduction to Solid Modeling Using SolidWorks(R) 2010 presents solid modeling not just as a communication tool, but as an essential part of the design process. To this end, the text explores design intent, the use of solid models in engineering analysis, and introduces techniques from manufacturing such as mold design and sheet metal patterning. Howard and Musto provide a student-friendly presentation filled with easy-to-use ..."
