Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systemsis designed for a first course or two-course sequence in manufacturing at the junior or senior level in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering curricula.The distinctive and “modern”approachof the bookemerges from itsbalanced coverage of the basicengineering materials, the inclusion of recent manufacturingprocesses and comprehensive coverage of electronics manufacturingtechnologies. The quantitative focus of the text is displayed in its emphasison manufacturing science,greater use of mathematical models andend-of-chapter problems.This International Adaptation of the book offers revised and expanded coverage of topics and new sections on contemporary materials and processes. The new and updated examples and practice problemshelps students gain solid foundational knowledgeandthe edition has been completely updated to use SI units.

Michele Groover's first issue of Manufacturing Processes builds upon much of the content from his 4th edition, of Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing. The text incorporates design topics, balance quantitative and qualitative coverage; offers most current information on latest developments in the field; and makes the topic of manufacturing processes exciting with visualizing processes.The text also includes several case studies expanded upon online with related assessment content along with videos with related assessment questions. The text includes "hot topics" pedagogical elements with discussions ranging from lean manufacturing to green engineering to nanotechnology as well as an end chapter containing "putting it all together" systems analysis type exercises.
