Sheppard Ph.D ., is the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Senior Scholar principally responsible for the Preparations for the Professions Program (PPP) engineering study. She is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1985. Dr. Sheppard was recently named co-principal investigator on a NSF grant to form the Deter for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE). In 1999, she was named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 2004 Dr. Shepard was awarded the ASEE Chester F. Carlson Award in recognition of distinguished accomplishments in engineering education. Klappentext The second edition provides engineers with a conceptual understanding of how dynamics is applied in the field. It builds their problem-solving skills. New problems with a wider variety of difficulty levels and applications have been added. An online problem-solving tool is available to reinforce how to find solutions. New images are included to add a visual element to the material. These show the link between an actual system and a modeled/analyzed system. Engineers will also benefit from the numerous new worked problems, algorithmic problems, and multi-part GO problems.
