About the Author

Dr. Gordon C. Andrews was a Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. In his early years, he served as a construction engineering officer in the Canadian Air Force, and was a stress analyst for the Boeing Airplane Company on the 747 design team. During a 35-year university career, Dr. Andrews taught courses from first year to graduate level, and conducted research in machine design, dynamics, kinematics, projectile dynamics, dynamic simulation, and computer-aided design. He is the author or co-author of over 100 publications. Dr. Andrews was a licensed Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario, certified to provide engineering advice to the public, and had been actively involved in many engineering projects with private companies, involving machine design (stamping presses, drilling rigs, metal shredders), dynamics (projectiles and vehicles), gear strength analysis, and professional engineering practice. Even after retiring from active teaching, he continued his writing in professional practice and ethics. Over the years, he was engaged as an expert witness in several legal cases involving engineering.
