Engineering Fundamentals: An Introduction to Engineering
Motivating students from all engineering disciplines, this text encourages students to become engineers and prepares them with a solid foundation in fundamental principles and physical laws. The book begins by introducing students to the exciting world of engineering as they discover what engineers do as well as the various areas of specialization. After explaining good study habits and what it takes to succeed, Moaveni then prepares them for success with an introduction to design and problem solving, communication, and ethics. Once this foundation is established, the book moves on to the basic physical concepts and laws students will encounter regularly as engineering students. The text emphasizes that engineers apply physical and chemical laws and principles as well as mathematics to design, test, and supervise the production of millions of parts, products, and services that people use everyday. By gaining problem solving skills and an understanding of fundamental principles, students are on their way to becoming analytical, detail-oriented, and creative engineers.

Eco-offices Should Always Receive the Green Light
Eco-buildings come in many different forms: self-sufficient or autonomous structures, self-build, wooden timbre-framed, cob cottages, traditional mud and stud, to name but a few. Some are high tech, others are low tech and some eco-architecture has even gone underground to conserve heat.
Like all good architecture, of course, modern eco-buildings with closely with the climate and attempt to harmonise with their environment. The relationship is strengthened by them passively capturing solar energy, rainwater and harnessing wind to generate energy that can be subsequently stored and used – with surplus energy often being sold to the national grid!
Standing out
Searching the internet these days is like sifting through silt in the search of gold, there’s some out there, but you have to work hard to find anything worthwhile and you have to know where to look. There are some great sites like YouTube, of course, where you can watch music videos and see how some of the very best in the business cut their teeth. A major name in the direction of music videos is Spike Jonze who has directed videos for Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and Bjork. The advent of the music video really kicked in during the sixties and was developed into feature length films by The Beatles, of course. Indeed, The Beatles themselves got the notion to make feature because of what Elvis was doing across The Pond. Alchemea has a beautifully kitted out modern dubbing theatre where videos can have their sound digitally mastered and dubbed with sound. Our sound engineering courses offer students the chance to learn the theory behind multi-channel formats like Dolby Matrix, DTS and Ambisoics. Many of our former pupils have gone on to work in this kind of industry. The post-production training suite offers pupils an ideal environment within which to practice their skills. Editing music videos and film and putting on voiceovers or various audio visual effects is just one strand of the sound engineering course and the audio courses we offer. It is a growing part of the everyday culture however and learning how to make your videos standout will be a big bonus. If you agree that ‘video killed the radio star,’ then you might well be interested in one of our tailored courses. We always try to help our students get themselves contacts and are proud when our alumni prosper in our exciting sector. We take every effort to ensure that you get connected and get opportunities to use your practical skills.
