About this ebook

Engineering Computation: An Introduction Using MATLAB and Excel (2026 Release) by Joseph Musto and William E. Howard is a foundational textbook published by McGraw Hill. It is specifically designed to introduce first- and second-year engineering students to technical computing, algorithm development, and basic programming logic. [1, 2, 3]

The book is available through major academic and retail platforms, including the McGraw Hill Higher Education Catalog and Amazon. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Core Focus and Approach

Rather than just teaching the mechanics of the software, the text prioritizes language-independent computational fundamentals. It highlights how to build algorithms, select the right tool for a problem, document engineering solutions, and verify outputs. It balances two primary tools: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

MATLAB: Used to teach structured programming logic (loops, condition statements, array structures) and high-level technical mathematics. [1]
Excel: Used as a ubiquitous, spreadsheet-driven environment for quick calculations, data tracking, and business-focused engineering tasks. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Book Structure and Chapters

The curriculum is divided into two distinct parts: [1, 2]

Part 1: Computational Tools [1]

Chapter 1: Computing Tools
Chapter 2: Excel Fundamentals
Chapter 3: MATLAB Fundamentals
Chapter 4: MATLAB Programming
Chapter 5: Plotting Data [1]

Part 2: Engineering Applications [1]

Covers essential numerical methods, including root-finding, matrix mathematics, systems of equations, integration, and optimization. [1]

Key Features

Step-by-Step Tutorials: Provides detailed, keystroke-level instructions for navigating MATLAB and Excel.
Comparative Approach: Guides students on choosing the appropriate tool for specific tasks.
Contextualized Learning: Integrates application-driven, real-world engineering problems. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
