Title overview

Manufacturing Engineering and Technology provides comprehensive coverage of the science, engineering and technologies that underpin modern manufacturing. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it explores the relationships between materials, design, manufacturing processes and operations, helping learners understand how products are developed, produced and improved. Real-world examples, case studies and practical applications bring key concepts to life while highlighting the challenges and opportunities facing today’s manufacturing industries.

Learners will develop the knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to evaluate manufacturing processes, materials selection, production systems and quality outcomes. Updated content explores emerging technologies and industry trends, including additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, sustainable manufacturing, decarbonisation and advanced microfabrication. Extensive questions, projects and design challenges encourage critical thinking and the practical application of engineering principles in contemporary manufacturing environments.

Who it's for

Ideal for undergraduate learners studying manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and related disciplines. Suitable for those seeking a thorough understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, production technologies and the evolving challenges of modern manufacturing industries.
