Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology: WITH MATLAB 6 for Engineers AND Engineering Mechanics, Dynamics SI + Study Pack (3rd Revised Edition) AND ... of Materials SI
Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology 5/e Intended for students of manufacturing in manufacturing, mechanical, or industrial engineering programs at both the Associate Degree or Bachelor Degree level. The book emphasizes a mostly qualitative description of the science, mathematics and the technology and practice of manufacturing, including detailed descriptions of manufacturing processes and the manufacturing enterprise. MATLAB 6 for Engineers, 1/eAs the features of MATLAB are becoming more advanced, the literature more confusing and the package harder to navigate, this new text will aim to simplify use of MATLAB 6 by walking the user through the main functions, facilities and applications. It will cover some of the new features, but won't cover any of the advanced features in-depth. Engineering Dynamics SI + Study Pack, 10/eFor introductory dynamics courses found in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, and engineering mechanics departments.Statics & Mechanics of Materials SI, 2/eFor introductory Statics and Mechanics of Materials courses found in ME, CE, AE, and Engineering Mechanics departments. Based on the UD 2nd Edition, the SI Version is a comprehensive and well-illustrated introduction to theory and application of statics and mechanics of materials. The text presents a commitment to the development of student problem-solving skills and features many pedagogical aids unique to Hibbeler texts.
I read this book in second semester for MEL120 (and referred back to it in 5th semester in a hands-on course on MEP 202 Design, Innovation and Manufacturing and in 7th semester in MEL 434 - Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) during undergrad in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi.
As I and many other mechanical engineering students deride (and sometimes hate) manufacturing courses - making you do physical labor like an industrial worker and mental labor reading fat books like this one, it would be surprising to some why this book has such a nice rating (currently 4.22).
The reason is that it is really an excellent book. It is so good that having read it cover to cover wouldn't make you regret it later on when most of us (mechanical engineers) don't go into manufacturing industry (speaking statistically, not from intuition). While it is heavily based on technology i.e. it is application-based, it does talk about the fundamental scientific basis of several technologies.
Not only within the realms of being an undergrad in engineering, but even for an engineer in industry, this is a definitive reference book (in my opinion).
