Biography
Mike Tooley has over 30 years' experience of teaching engineering, electronics and avionics to engineers and technicians, previously as Head of the Department of Engineering and Vice Principal at Brooklands College. Mike currently works as a consultant and freelance technical author.
Gary Appleton, EAL engineering assessor (non-teaching role):
A good, clear and constructive publication, detailing the engineering mathematics and science principles that provides the learner with a good level of reference whilst engaging with a good range of tasks to verify the learning outcomes.
Nothing negative to say, the level is aimed at level 2 with sufficient detail.
Topics referenced that should be added as case studies even if not covered in the syllabus: lean manufacturing principles and maintenance engineering technology.
Steve McGurk, engineering tutor/assessor at Cornwall Marine Network:
Good use of practical examples such as Low Voltage Power Supply and "test your knowledge" activities require comprehension.
Too much detail in some sections and incorrect figure references in text (note that the sample material is from another book and will have quite a lot of material taken out as well as the language level lowering).
Topics referenced that should be added as case studies even if not covered in the syllabus:
Composite Materials – Properties/Applications/Processes
3D Printing- Types of media/Applications
