Title overview

For courses in manufacturing process. 

Thorough, up-to-date coverage of manufacturing science, engineering and technology. Manufacturing Engineering and Technology emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of every manufacturing activity, from complex interactions between materials to design, process and operations. Extensive questions and problems explore viable solutions to a variety of challenges, encouraging students to describe and assess both the capabilities and limitations involved. Examples and case studies depict real-world applications of the topics described.

The 9th Edition is fully updated, with many new topics and illustrations; expands Questions, Qualitative Projects and Quantitative Projects, and Design Problems; examines manufacturing in the context of climate change and the post-COVID world; and much more.
