Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and
Systems is designed for a first course or two-course
sequence in manufacturing at the junior level in mechanical, industrial, and
manufacturing engineering curricula. Given its coverage of engineering
materials, it is also suitable for materials science and engineering courses that emphasize materials processing. Finally, it may be appropriate for
technology programs related to the preceding engineering disciplines. Most of
the book’s content is concerned with manufacturing processes (about 65% of the
text), but it also provides significant coverage of engineering materials and
production systems. Materials, processes, and systems are the basic building blocks of modern manufacturing and the
three broad subject areas covered in the book.
