Book Description
Manufacturing Engineering and Technology has set the standard for
instructors that wish to introduce their students to the scope and
variety of manufacturing processes. The book describes both
time-tested and modern methods of manufacturing engineering
materials. The book's popularity is due to its complete coverage
and the author's writing style.
Features and Benefits
NEW - New chapter on Rapid Prototyping (Ch. 19). NEW - Every
chapter has been reviewed and updated. Every bibliography has been
revised, new examples from industry have been added, and over 30%
of the problems are new. Superior use of analogies, discussions
and problems, motivates students' interest in the subject.
Excellent overview of manufacturing concepts is provided with a
balance of relevant fundamentals and real-world practice. Covers
the latest technological advances - Such as abrasive machining,
nanofabrication, rapid tooling and semisolid metalworking.
Contains four kinds of EOC problems - Review Questions,
Qualitative Problems, Quantitative Problems, and Synthesis and
Design Problems.

PROFESSOR SEROPE KALPAKJIAN has been teaching at the Illinois
Institute of Technology since 1963. After graduating from Robert
College (with High Honors), Harvard University, and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined Cincinnati
Milacron, Inc., where he was a research supervisor in charge of
advanced metal-forming processes. He has published numerous papers
and is the author of several articles in encyclopedias and
handbooks; he has also edited various volumes and serves on the
editorial boards of several journals and the Encyclopedia
Americana.
He is the author of three additional manufacturing books, two of
which received the M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Textbook
Award. He is a Life Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, Fellow and Life Member of ASM International, and Fell
of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and is a full member
(Emeritus) of the International Institution for Production
Engineering Research (CIRP). He is a founding member and a past
president of the North American manufacturing Research
Institution.
Professor Kalpakjian has received several awards- Citation by the
Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation for best
paper (1966); Citation by the Society of Carbide and Tool
Engineers (1977); The "Excellence in Teaching Award"
from the Illinois Institute of Technology (1970); the
"Centennial Medallion" by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (1980); the International "Education
Award" by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (1989); and
the Albert Easton White Distinguished Teacher Award by the
American Society for Metals International (2000).
Dr. Steven R. Schmid is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre
Dame, where he teaches and conducts research in manufacturing,
machine design, and tribology. As the Director of the
Manufacturing Tribology Laboratory at the university, he oversees
industry and governmentally funded research on a wide variety of
manufacturing topics, including tribological issues in rolling,
forging and sheet metal forming, polymer processing, medical
device design and manufacture, and nanomechanics.
He received his Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from
the Illinois Institute of Technology (with Honors) and Masters and
Ph.D. degrees, both in Mechanical Engineering, from Northwestern
University. Dr. Schmid is the recipient of a National Science
Foundation CAREERS Award and an ALCOA Foundation Young Faculty
Award. He has been a leading proponent for the integration of
research and engineering education; NSF has sponsored workshops on
this issue for which he has served as head of the steering
committee.
He is the author of over thirty technical papers in various
journals, has edited three conference proceedings, has co-authored
"Fundamentals of Machine Elements," and has contributed
two chapters to the CRC "Handbook of Modern Tribology."
He serves on the Tribology Division Executive Committee of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and has held officer
positions in the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the
Society of Tribology and Lubrication Engineers. He is a registered
Professional Engineer an a Certified Manufacturing Engineer.
