Certified Manufacturing Engineer examination. The curricula is consistent with the Manufacturing "Body of Knowledge" published by the Manufacturing Engineering Certification Institute (MECI) of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Reviewed by subject matter experts, the areas of advanced manufacturing science covered include: personal effectiveness, machining processes analysis, forming processes analysis, joining and fastening analysis, deburring and finishing analysis, fixture and jig design, advanced quality analysis, engineering economics analysis, management theory and practice, and industrial safety, health, and environmental management. Sample problems and questions at the end of each chapter are available for practice. Answers are included to confirm the problem-solving process.

The "Fundamentals of Manufacturing Workbook," in addition to the "Fundamentals of Manufacturing," Second Edition, provides a structured review for the... Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) examination. The curricula is consistent with the manufacturing "body of knowledge" published by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. Authored and reviewed by subject matter experts, the "Fundamentals of Manufacturing Workbook" is an essential tool for studying for the exam and determining where further work is needed. It contains 200 questions and solutions weighted according to the body of knowledge. Questions address mathematical fundamentals, physics and engineering sciences, materials, product design, manufacturing processes, production systems, automated systems and control, quality, manufacturing management, and personal/professional effectiveness. The Workbook is also an excellent refresher tool for those preparing for the CMfgE exam. References are provided to guide further study.

Callister and Rethwisch's Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering, 4th Edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization... of topics. That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types — metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics. Also discussed are new, cutting-edge materials. Using clear, concise terminology that is familiar to students, Fundamentals presents material at an appropriate level for both student comprehension and instructors who may not have a materials background.

For courses in Metallurgy, Materials Science, and Materials Testing in two- and four-year technology programs.   Clearly written and with a... practical, problem-solving approach, this introduction to the characteristics and testing of materials effectively combines the background students need in principles and theory with plenty of applications, to provide a solid understanding of the materials used in today's machines, devices, structures, and consumer products. Straightforward, non-mathematical coverage is aimed at answering the "why" and "how" questions of materials science and materials testing as they relate to all types of materials—concrete, wood, metals, and polymers—and is geared to helping students build a foundation from which they can learn to design and develop additional materials and conduct materials testing procedures on their own.

This book offers a strong introduction to fundamental concepts on the basis of materials science. It conveys the central issue of materials science,... distinguishing it from merely solid state physics and solid state chemistry, namely to develop models that provide the relation between the microstructure and the properties. The book is meant to be used in the beginning of a materials science and engineering study as well as throughout an entire undergraduate and even graduate study as a solid background against which specialized texts can be studied.  Topics dealt with are "crystallography", "lattice defects", "microstructural analysis", "phase equilibria and transformations" and "mechanical strength". After the basic chapters the coverage of topics occurs to an extent surpassing what can be offered in a freshman's course.   About the author Prof. Mittemeijer is one of the top scientists in materials science, whose perceptiveness and insight have led to important achievements. This book witnesses of his knowledge and panoramic overview and profound understanding of the field. He is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart.
