Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology

by Serope Kalpakjian, Steven R. Schmid

Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology 5/e is intended for students of manufacturing in manufacturing , mechanical, or industrial engineering programs at both the Associate Degree or Bachelor Degree level. The book emphasizes a mostly qualitative description of the science, mathematics and the technology and practice of manufacturing, including detailed descriptions of manufacturing processes and the manufacturing enterprise. The book has been completely updated, and addresses issues essential to modern manufacturing, ranging from traditional topics such as casting, forming, machining, and joining processes, to advanced topics such as the fabrication of microelectronic devices and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). With a large number of case studies and examples, up to date and comprehensive coverage of all topics, and superior graphics, the book provides a good background for manufacturing students as well as professionals.

(5.2 stars)

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.

Forged a new useful skillset. Plot progression isn't extremely riveting
