Web News

College House Enterprises, LLC is a small publisher of engineering textbooks for college and secondary school students.  Our books deal with science and engineering.  The emphasis is on hands-on design experience along with traditional engineering content.  Several of our titles describe methods for using LEGOs in teaching science and engineering concepts to students from 6 years of age to those much older.

The titles recently published and the status of the  manuscripts in progress are described below:

1.  Jim Dally working with Kevin Calabro, Bill Fourney, Gary Pertmer, Wesley Lawson, Bruce Jacob, Vincent Brannigan and Guangming Zhang are currently working on the title:  Introduction to Engineering Design, Book 9, Fourth Edition: Engineering Skills and Hovercraft Missions.  The book will be used at the University of Maryland @ College Park for their entire first year class in engineering.  We plan to publish a 4th edition of this title in the summer of 2010 so it will be available for the fall 2010 semester.

2.  Jim Dally and Bob Bonenberger have completed their work on a pair of new books titled :Mechanics I: Statics++ and Mechanics II: Mechanics of Materials+.  These books will replace the title "Design Analysis of Structural Elements", which is in its 4th edition.  The emphasis on design in these basic mechanics courses has been retained in the new treatment.  Mechanics I:  Statics ++ is now available.  Mechanics II: Mechanics of Materials+ is in press and we will release the title in early April 2010.  It will be available for the fall 2010 semester.

3.  Eric Wang, one of our favorite authors, has begun working with Chris Rogers on a new version of LabVIEW for the NXT.  We are hopeful that Eric will have time in his busy schedule to write the book and that we will be able to publish it sometime in the near future.

4.  Jim Dally and Arun Shukla have completed their work on Experimental Solid Mechanics, which is intended for senior level and early level graduate students.  The book is now in press and we expect to release the title in Mid may and to exhibit the book at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Mechanics in early June 2010.

5.  Guangming Zhang is currently working on a new edition of his title "Engineering Design with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Version 5.0.  We expect to receive his manuscript in April and to have the title ready for release in the summer of 2010.  We will continue to sell Version 4.0 of this tile for another year.
