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.
