Thorough, up-to-date coverage of manufacturing science, engineering and technology

Manufacturing Engineering and Technology emphasizes 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.

Hallmark features of this title

  • An excellent overview of manufacturing concepts provides a balance of relevant fundamentals and real-world practices.
  • Lists and process comparisons give students an in-depth look at manufacturing processes and operations.
    • The chapters on specific groups of manufacturing processes and operations feature lists of typical parts produced by the processes described in the chapter, as well as a list of competing and alternative processes to produce the same types of parts.
  • A wealth of examples and industrially relevant case studies demonstrate the importance of the subject matter, offer a real-world perspective, and keep students interested and engaged.
  • Superior use of analogies, discussions and problems motivate students' interest in the material.

New and updated features of this title

  • New and updated illustrations and examples throughout reflect recent advances in manufacturing.
  • Expanded Questions, Qualitative Problems, Quantitative Problems and Design/Projects appear at the end of each chapter.
  • Updated topics include sustainable manufacturing and decarbonization, expansion of artificial intelligence, outsourcing/offshoring/reshoring, extreme plastic deformation processes, developments in cutting fluids and application, new developments in lithography (up to 10 nm process), and many more throughout.
  • New case studies include a study of large-scale gigacasting at Tesla and a study on the use of additive manufacturing to manufacture COVID test kits.
