Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes and Systems, 7th Edition, International Adaptation (Wiley)

Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems is designed for a first course or two-course sequence in manufacturing at the junior or senior level in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering curricula. The distinctive and “modern” approach of the book emerges from its balanced coverage of the basic engineering materials, the inclusion of recent manufacturing processes and comprehensive coverage of electronics manufacturing technologies. The quantitative focus of the text is displayed in its emphasis on manufacturing science, greater use of mathematical models and end-of-chapter problems. This International Adaptation of the book offers revised and expanded coverage of topics and new sections on contemporary materials and processes. The new and updated examples and practice problems helps students gain solid foundational knowledge and the edition has been completely updated to use SI units.
