Feedback from Tony, an experienced and successful Engineering Studies teacher that highlights the effectiveness of this Workbook:
"By focusing on teaching topics of content and developing from elementary understanding, rather than fragmenting content into themes, students can better grasp the connections and appreciate the learning process. The book's logical sequence and student-friendly presentation make it preferable over other texts - I always give your books full endorsement over other texts"
Feedback from Azahlia, an Online Engineering student of Johns in 2020/1 who is in her 3rd year of Aeronautical Engineering at ADFA:
".. and I am continuously pulling the Workbook out to refresh my knowledge before starting a new topic - it is probably the most useful resource I have even after two years into the degree!! Come to think of it, I have referred to the book for every course I have done."
