"Introduction to Basic Concepts in Engineering" is a college-prep course targeted towards high school students with an interest in pursuing an education in engineering. The course serves both to promote interest in engineering to prospective students and to prepare students to succeed in a university undergraduate engineering program by building a solid foundation of basic knowledge and skills. This handbook serves as a guide and as a resource to the student throughout the course. The second edition contains additional lab activities, expanded subject matter, and improved and streamlined example problems that focus on theory rather than complex calculations.
