Principles of Engineering Mechanics 1 (Statics): Dr. Romeo A. EstaƱero (editor)

As of press time, this book is still in the evaluation stage of adapting as the course textbook.
While still waiting for the result, I would prefer to adapt this book because of the following reasons:
1.) adherence to curriculum / syllabus
2.) relevance of the content to learning / teaching objectives (please see your course syllabus)
3.) comprehensiveness or adequacy of coverage
4.) quality of the language used
5.) adequacy of relevant figures, charts and illustrations
6.) adequacy of exercises
7.) REASONABLENESS OF PRICE
8.) Authors' academic qualifications and industry practice
