Dictionary of Automotive Engineering

by Ingo Stüben, 500 pages, English

The modern automobile epitomizes a high-tech, complex world with a continuous flow of new technical terms and specifics.
Today, mastering the English language does not suffice to be able to move confidently in the masses of current international specialized literature and documentation of automotive technology, and thus to be able to understand and make use of other specialists’ knowledge in a globalized environment. Interested parties often lack knowledge of the technical terms and precise definitions specific to automobiles, which are not part of everyday speech.
Standard dictionaries cannot possibly convey detailed specific technical matter, so the user increasingly runs into limits.
This dictionary aims to provide valuable aid to the expert (engineer or mechanic), student, or other interested part. A number of conversion tables for the units used in the various measuring systems supplement the dictionary. This is an indispensable tool in acquiring or expanding practical professional competence.
