Publisher's Synopsis
Manufacturing engineering is a branch of professional engineering. It is closely associated with other disciplines of engineering such as mechanical, industrial and electrical engineering. It focuses on researching and developing tools, machines and equipment, and planning the practices of manufacturing. It also focuses on the production of quality products with the optimum expenditure of capital. There are various sub-disciplines within this field such as mechanics, kinematics, drafting, machine tools and metal fabrication, computer integrated manufacturing and mechatronics. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of manufacturing engineering which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. This textbook is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
