Industrial Technology

Scope >> Industrial Technology

Digital-Text’ Industrial Technology textbooks have an eminently practical approach. The textbooks start with every day life objects and processes to guide students through the understanding of the technological processes involved. Along this path, both teachers and students have at their disposal a wealth of 3D models, interactive multimedia animations, computer simulations, self-correcting exercises, video documentaries, and proposals of activities to carry out in the laboratory, which include construction plans, photographs, instructions and lists of the necessary material.
