For courses in manufacturing process
A comprehensive text on the science, engineering, and technology of manufacturing In Manufacturing Engineering and Technology , 8th Edition, the authors continue their efforts to present a comprehensive, balanced, and, most importantly, an up-to-date coverage of the science, engineering, and technology of manufacturing. It places an emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of every manufacturing activity, from complex interactions between materials, design, process, and manufacturing process and operations.
The text is designed to help students learn not only the science and engineering that drives manufacturing, but to understand and appreciate manufacturing's important role in our modern, global economy. With more than 120 examples and case studies, the text presents students with a breadth of challenges while providing them the tools and encouragement to explore solutions to those challenges.
With the 8th Edition, Manufacturing Engineering and Technology is now available as an eText for a convenient, simple-to-use mobile reading experience for the needs and habits of today's students. The new edition is thoroughly updated with numerous new topics and illustrations relevant to all aspects of manufacturing and includes a completely revised chapter covering the rapid advances in additive manufacturing.
This title is also available digitally as a standalone Pearson eText. This option gives students affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed.

I read this book in second semester for MEL120 (and referred back to it in 5th semester in a hands-on course on MEP 202 Design, Innovation and Manufacturing and in 7th semester in MEL 434 - Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) during undergrad in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi.
As I and many other mechanical engineering students deride (and sometimes hate) manufacturing courses - making you do physical labor like an industrial worker and mental labor reading fat books like this one, it would be surprising to some why this book has such a nice rating (currently 4.22).
The reason is that it is really an excellent book. It is so good that having read it cover to cover wouldn't make you regret it later on when most of us (mechanical engineers) don't go into manufacturing industry (speaking statistically, not from intuition). While it is heavily based on technology i.e. it is application-based, it does talk about the fundamental scientific basis of several technologies.
Not only within the realms of being an undergrad in engineering, but even for an engineer in industry, this is a definitive reference book (in my opinion).

It was really useful for me as a process engineering student.
It was given to us to borrow for materials and joining technology module.
