Description
Analysis is perhaps the most sought-after skill in university graduates as it is the enabler for the graduate to first understand the core issue, dissect different dimensions of the problem, which will lead-in to proposal of solutions and testing solution strategies. Thus, analysis is the first skill to be employed in problem solution for many real-world challenges in science and engineering. This book attempts to illustrate the utility of analytical approach towards the solution of a range of science and engineering problems of contemporary importance. Firstly, the book guides the reader into examining the important issue of assessing if groundwater is suitable for use as drinking water. Next, the book takes a look at energy use from the perspective of analysing the energy requirement of modern water purification systems, as well as how fuel efficiency standards can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
