A Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University, Dr. Jonathan Wickert teaches and conducts research in the areas of applied mechanics, dynamics, and mechanical vibration. As a researcher and consultant, he has worked with companies and federal agencies on a diverse range of engineering problems including computer disk drives and tape libraries, the manufacture of sheet metal, and various consumer products. Dr. Wickert received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He has served as associate editor of engineering journals, as a division chair in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and as chair of the undergraduate mechanical engineering program at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Wickert has received awards in recognition of his teaching and research from the Society of Automotive Engineers, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the Information Storage Industry Consortium. He was also elected a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
"All of the illustrations are appropriate, instructive, and helpful. The figures in Wickert's text are "clean", i.e., they are not overly complicated and they help the student see and better understand the fundamental concepts being studied."
"I like the layout and level of the material--it works for my freshman students. It includes enough manufacturing content that I can make those majors feel included. It has a good range of homework problems."
"Excellent use of contemporary set-aside items."
