Applying the General Analysis Procedure in Solving an Engineering Problem-An Assessment

Abstract

Analysis plays a vital role in all the engineering domains. All engineering problems require a systematic procedure to be followed to obtain a reasonable solution. An engineering student learning these skills in first year of engineering would be of great help to him/her as these skills can be applied throughout the engineering program in solving any given problem. The work presented in this paper focuses on how analysis and general analysis procedure was introduced at first semester. Also it highlights how this procedure was used to come up with a solution for any engineering problem.
