The book Basic Mechanical Engineering is an outcome of the years of experience that the author has in teaching core subjects and the subject basic mechanical engineering. It has been observed that a lot of books cover the portions in such a very difficult and an unwanted in depth manner that the studetns will not be able to follow. As a result of this the budding engineers will be rendered reluctant ot the subject.

This book here covers the content in such a easy and understandable tried and tested pattern that the students will be able to follow even the difficult portion and have a clear understanding. More over some difficult to understand portions are equpped with diagrams that show various stages of the equipment under working making the book much more reader friendly. The book houses some most modern technologies that are part of the updated curriculum.

The main features of the book are as follows:

• Figures are given in multilayer format to get a better understanding of the system.
• Working figures, even though not required for examination, are included so that the reader can get a better understanding of the subject.
• Apart from this a lot of problems are added with step by step approach enabling the reader to get an overall idea of how a problem is progressing.
• Modulewise approach is avoided even though not completely to enable the reader to move without losing interest through the topics.
