Short description
This Third Edition of Kutz's handbook is the most aggressive revision undertaken. Because of the widening breadth of subjects covered and specialization required from engineers, it is divided the content beyond the single book to four separate, but related books: Materials and Mechanical Design, Electronics/MEMS/Instrumentation and Control, Manufacturing and Management, and Energy and Power. Each book is sold separately or in combination with other volumes as the market requires.
