This essential reference defines the principle and most commonly used terms found in engineering documents and drawings across multiple disciplines and explains them in plain, unambiguous English. Concise Dictionary of Engineering: A Guide to the Language of Engineering also distinguishes how some terms take on different meanings in different engineering contexts--critical knowledge when working on collaborative projects with diverse elements and colleagues. Based on an edition developed for researchers and technicians at Lockheed Martin, each entry in this volume is written in clear, everyday English without confusing jargon and "techno-speak." The book is ideal for students, professional engineers, industrial personnel, managers and anyone else who requires a solid understanding of the language of engineers.

Industry Reviews

From the book reviews:

"This dictionary of brief general definitions of engineering-specific terminology is truly concise at only 268 pages. Libraries that support engineering students or professionals should keep this slim volume handy for quick lookups in a field with some highly specialized vocabulary. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates, two year technical program students, graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals." (J. J. Meier, Choice, Vol. 52 (5), January, 2015)
