8. Top-notch eBook content to use in the classroom Quantitative Human Physiology An Introduction Joseph J. Feher  9780123821638 ● Feb 2012 Through text explanation, figures, and equations it provides the engineering student with a basic understanding of physiological principles with an emphasis on quantitative aspects. Geared to undergraduate students who are less familiar with biological concepts but who have successfully completed typical first-year engineering mathematics, including differential and integral calculus and some differential equations. Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students, 5e T. H. G. Megson 9780080969053 ● Mar 2012 The leading self-contained aircraft structures course text covering all fundamental subjects, including elasticity, structural analysis, airworthiness and aeroelasticity. Additional worked examples make the text even more accessible by showing application of concepts to airframe structures. Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, 3e John Enderle and Joseph Bronzino 9780123749796 ● Mar 2011 A comprehensive survey text for biomedical engineering courses. It is the most widely adopted text across the BME course spectrum, valued by instructors and students alike for its authority, clarity and encyclopedic coverage in a single volume. Signals and Systems for Bioengineers, 2e A MATLAB-Based Introduction John Semmlow 9780123849823 ● Sep 2011 This textbook is perfect for the one-semester bioengineering course usually offered in conjunction with a laboratory on signals and measurements which presents the fundamentals of systems and signal analysis. The target course occupies a pivotal position in the bioengineering curriculum and will play a critical role in the future development of bioengineering students.

11. In Corporate Researchers’ Words: The contribution of Engineering eBooks to Workflow outcomes • “As an engineer, I knew little about the UNIX and at that time one of the project is going on based on the system. I found the book Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment through my friends. And then from the book I know many things about the UNIX and it is of great help for my job..” • Peng Xu, ZTE engineer • “I learned the correct equations of an algorithm, that was confusing in the papers. Accelerated my research, not waste of time.” • -Leticia Zamora, Telecomunications Engineer • “By using a reference into the new article/publication, we refer to the work of someone else to certificate the reasons of what we are publishing it. Online resources have graphic modelation of tables that are interactive and helps to find the best and suitable solution to specific matter..” • “Online books are important tool to access all kinds of information.” • Dayanna Altamar Bassi, EFOENREGETICAS S.A.S • “The fuzzy concepts became clear to me, as a result, I can go ahead with the remaining work.” • – Lan Shang, Engineer Data Source: 2011 Akel Agency Research Study: Corporate Markets
