Introduction to Engineering (Bechara)
LibreTexts
This interactive textbook is organized into three main modules. In the Units & Conversions module, students learn to use the International System of Units (SI), convert between different units of measurement, and dimensional analysis. The Excel module teaches students Excel for engineering calculations, data analysis, and visualization. Students will learn how to write basic programs and analyze data using MATLAB with interactive coding exercises and quizzes to help students master the material.

Plant Molecular Genetics and Bioengineering
Walter Suza; Faizo Kasule; Philip Becraft; Thomas Lübberstedt · Iowa State University Digital Press · 2026
This edited book presents an overview of the fundamental principles and applied methodologies used in the genetic improvement of crop plants. It covers the structure and function of genes controlling traits of agronomic importance, the regulation of gene expression and genetic pathways, and the role of mutations as a primary source of genetic variation underlying trait improvement. Additional topics include an introduction to molecular markers, recombinant DNA technology, plant transformation, and gene editing technologies. Learning activities are included to facilitate self-study.
