SCOPE:
The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a
guideline for the student in locating library resources
on the topic of mechanical engineering. It is not
intended as a comprehensive listing but as a selective
sampling of the many types of resources available in the
library.
SUBJECT HEADINGS
Books
dealing with mechanical engineering are listed in the
library catalog under the following subject headings:
Mechanical engineering
Machinery
Machine-tools
Thermodynamics
