    Abstract: Textbooks play as the vital tools in many engineering and applied sciences courses and departments.
Textbook evaluation checklist was developed in response to the need for university administrators, university
instructors and even industry leaders to evaluate textbook materials for their students and potential employees.
The current study and textbook evaluation checklist was developed by a review of the recommendation from
the current literature review and the qualitative data information from 19 university departmental administrators
and instructors in the field of engineering and applied sciences. The current study discusses the
improvements made to the textbook evaluation checklist following the completion of the pre-modified
textbook evaluation checklist and the semi-structured interview after completing the checklist and providing
feedback. The result of this study provides a revised and standardised textbook evaluation checklist for
potential readers, university administrators, instructors and industry leaders to select appropriate teaching and
learning materials.
