This package includes MasteringEngineering(R). For the thermodynamics course in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department Thermodynamics: An Interactive Approach employs a layered approach that introduces the important concepts of mass, energy, and entropy early, and progressively refines them throughout the text. To create a rich learning experience for today's thermodynamics student, this book melds traditional content with the web-based resources and learning tools of TEST: The Expert System for Thermodynamics (www.pearsonhighered.com/bhattacharjee)-an interactive platform that offers smart thermodynamic tables for property evaluation and analysis tools for mass, energy, entropy, and exergy analysis of open and closed systems. MasteringEngineering for Thermodynamics is a total learning package. This innovative online program emulates the instructor's office-hour environment, guiding students through engineering concepts from Thermodynamics with self-paced individualized coaching. Teaching and Learning Experience To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program will: *Personalize Learning with Individualized Coaching: MasteringEngineering emulates the instructor's office-hour environment using self-paced individualized coaching. *Introduce Fundamental Theories Early: A layered approach introduces important concepts early, and progressively refines them in subsequent chapters to lay a foundation for true understanding. *Engage Students with Interactive Content: To create a rich learning experience for today's thermodynamics student, this book melds traditional content with web-based resources and learning tools. MasteringEngineering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID.
