PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Professors Khan and Raouf have recognized the need for a book that meets the requirements of undergraduate students, graduate students, and engineering professionals in the cross-disciplinary aspects of mechanical engineering that relate to computer-based design and manufacture and, in particular, focuses on the need to provide a vehicle for cross-disciplinary integration through standards and codes of practice. this book focuses on the generic principles that underpin the formation and establishment of international standards. [It] addresses the concepts associated with the ways in which new products are conceived and realized and discusses how standards are used, to best advantage, in this process. This book makes good use of examples both to introduce concepts and to demonstrate their use. It is a valuable reference text for both undergraduate and graduate students and for practicing engineers. -D.R. Hayhurst, Sc.D. (Cantab), FR.Eng., Professor of Design, Manufacture, and Materials, The University of Manchester, UK, from the Foreword
