First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic textbook in the education of airport engineers and transportation planners. Over the past twenty years, construction of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed. This new edition of Airport Engineering will respond to this shift in the growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), while still providing the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book successful for over 30 years.

A broad, yet concise, introduction to the field of engineering for undergraduate students. Designed for the beginning student, this text covers the history of engineering, career paths for engineers, issues of professional responsibility and ethics, and critical engineering skills like problem solving and communication. Includes two case studies, one of which deals with the circumstances and events leading to the space shuttle Challenger accident. A brief, paperback text, this title can be used in conjunction with other texts to provide a solid foundation for the introductory engineering course.

Introduction to Engineering

Engineering

Highway engineering

Up-to-date information on planning and design for major transportation modes. This book explores short and long term transportation planning as well as non-engineering aspects integrated on a multimodal/systems basis. It also examines the design of facilities that serve individual transportation modes including land, sea, and air.

Transportation Engineering: Planning and Design

Stammer, Robert J.

Comprehensive book focusing solely on highway transportation. Contains treatment of highway administration and planning, evaluation, driver needs, geometric design, the nature of traffic flow and control, pavement design, and an extensive description of how highways are constructed and maintained. * Offers the very latest AASHTO codes and guidelines for highway design, construction, and beautification. * Dr. Wright is widely recognized as an expert in highway safety.

Examines the roots of engineering through its modern development. Describes functions and career paths for various branches of engineering, professional responsibilities, ethics, purpose and importance of engineering societies. Discusses engineering design methods along with techniques commonly used to solve problems. Provides recommended procedures for handling engineering data. Includes two case studies, one of which deals with the circumstances and events leading to the space shuttle Challenger accident.

Providing a brief history and a comprehensive overview of the engineering profession and practice, this book describes the functions and career paths for various branches of engineering. Students are offered suggestions on how to nurture creativity in engineering practice. The text includes sections on the engineer as a writer, as a speaker and as a presiding officer, as well as the rudiments of graphical communication. It also describes the engineering code of ethics and discusses the importance of ethical procedures in protecting the integrity of the profession.

This work serves as a readable overview of the various aspects of the engineering professions. The first three chapters present a brief history of engineering and a survey of engineering career paths, then address the ethical and legal responsibilities of the profession, including the role of engineering societies, and registration and licensing of engineers. Chapters 4 through 7 discuss the creative aspects of engineering, design methods, written and oral communication, common mathematics used in engineering, and data handling. Chapters 8 and 9 comprise elementary treatments of engineering mechanics and electronics, supported by illustrative examples of problems and solutions. Chapter 10 briefly describes the types, components, and operation of computers, and includes brief treatments of computer languages and programming. The final chapter presents a case study of the Challenger space shuttle accident.

This up-to-date edition of the classic text presents a broad overview of highway engineering and is the first to incorporate major changes in design standards from a policy on geometric design of highways and streets, published by AASHTO in 1984. Also includes changes in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual. New chapters on computer applications in highway engineering and highway mass transit foundations have been added, as well as sections on engineering fabrics, reinforced earth embankments, and pavement recycling and rehabilitation. Includes an illustration of a typical highway design plan.
