Most modules will have a reading list with details of any core reading you will need. In most cases these will be available via Blackboard and our reading lists.
If an electronic reading list is not available for your module please let me or the module leader know.
Manual of Engineering Drawing by
Manual of Engineering Drawing: British and International Standards, Fifth Edition, chronicles ISO and British Standards in engineering drawings, providing many examples that will help readers understand how to translate engineering specifications into a visual medium. The book includes 6 introductory chapters which provide foundational theory and contextual information regarding the broader context of engineering drawing and design. The concepts enclosed will help readers gain the most out of their drawing skills. As the standards referred to in this book change every few years, this new edition presents an important update.
Project and Cost Engineers' Handbook by
Making the specifics of a complex concern accessible and its handling quite manageable, this fourth edition of the Project and Cost Engineers' Handbook examines the variables associated with international projects and project risk analysis. It provides instruction on contingency planning, delves into ethical considerations, considers the impact of the Internet on project and cost engineering, and examines the field's ever increasing reliance on software. It also offers a detailed checklist of actions that must be taken to assure the successful completion of an international project, and presents updated information on AACE International certification programs.
Applied Cost Engineering by
This thoroughly rewritten and updated third edition offers comprehensive coverage of cost engineering, emphasizing capital projects and focusing on both estimating and cost control. Maintaining and enhancing the style of presentation that made the previous editions so popular, Applied Cost Engineering, Third Edition furnishes an entirely new and cost-effective approach to estimating and controlling contingency, a new chapter on systems and computer applications, a new chapter on bulk material control, expanded coverage of the factors that affect estimate accuracy, an introduction to the concept of estimate and schedule classification, additional end-of-text case studies, and much more.

Textbooks provide a thorough overview of a topic. There are a number of advantages to using them:
It takes quite a long time for a book to be published so they don't always contain the most cutting edge research. They do often contain information to help you understand a concept though and are a good place to start your research.
As well as the Library you may find resources freely available online. Try the following to find alternative explanations and to corroborate ideas.
When using any online resources check whether the author has the necessary experience to write about the subject authoritatively and that the information is up-to-date.
