[PDF] Engineering GCSE Tooley M.

Mike Tooley’s accessible, activity-based approach introduces studentsto engineering and the pivotal role it plays in the modern world, aswell as providing opportunities to develop engineering skills andacquire the knowledge needed for the latest GCSE schemes fromEdexcel, OCR and AQA. This book builds on the success of MikeTooley’s GNVQ and BTEC National Engineering texts, which have helpedthousands of students to gain their first engineeringqualification.The text, case studies, activities and review questionsincluded throughout this book are designed to encourage students to explore engineering for themselves through a variety of different learning experiences. The practical process of designing and making a product offers the chance to develop the skills of engineeringdrawing, basic electronics and workshop techniques. Case studies, and research work using the internet and other sources, introduce the wide variety of engineering sectors and employment, from the automotive industry to telecommunications.With the first threechapters matched to the assessed units of the GCSE programme, the second edition also includes an additional topic-based chapter introducing the essential maths and science required for the successful study of engineering. All examples relate directly toengineering applications, emphasising the use of maths and science in the understanding of fundamental engineering concepts. New topics include: units; formulae; measurement; data; linear and angular motion; force, mass and acceleration; and properties of engineering materials. Mike Tooley is formerly Director of Learning at BrooklandsCollege, Surrey, and is the author of many best-selling engineering and electronics books. * Fully matched to the GCSE schemes from Edexel, OCR and AQA awarding bodies* Case studies, activities, review questions included throughout – maximises accessibility of the text, puts essential theory into practical engineering contexts* New chapter introduces underpinning knowledge in maths and science directly related to engineering – an area of difficulty for many engineering students
