Same Text, More Action

Based on the 9th edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, this zyVersion contains the complete text of the original book plus new interactive animations and learning questions to engage the student.

  • Over 100 animations, like the one you see below, will help students develop a deeper understanding of concepts by visualizing key processes and phenomena
  • Almost 200 learning question sets help students understand topics through incremental steps keeping them engaged and providing thorough explanations of both right and wrong answers
  • Participation Activities (a combination of animations and learning questions) allow you to see a student’s activity and grant course points for completion
  • Approximately 100 Challenge Activites (“auto-graded homework problems”) provide algorithmic, auto-graded versions of the end-of-chapter problems in the original text

Optional Challenge Activities

As an instructor, you have the ability to mark Challenge Activities as optional, which means you can indicate which Challenge Activities your students need to complete in order to meet your course requirements. Those marked as optional won’t contribute to point totals in reports or assignments.

What is a zyVersion?

zyVersions are leading print titles converted and adapted to zyBooks’ interactive learning platform, allowing for a quick and easy transition to an engaging digital experience for instructors and students.

zyBooks’ web-native content helps students visualize concepts to learn faster and more effectively than with a traditional textbook.

This zyVersion of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics (9e) benefits both students and instructors:

  • Instructor benefits
  • Customize your course by reorganizing existing content, or adding your own content
  • Continuous publication model updates your course with the latest content and technologies
  • Robust reporting gives you insight into students’ progress, reading and participation
  • Student benefits
  • Learning questions and other content serve as an interactive form of reading and provide instant feedback
  • Concepts come to life through extensive animations embedded into the interactive content
  • Save chapters as PDFs to reference material at any time, even after the course has been completed
