The American University in Cairo, Egypt
Faculty of Engineering, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, India
Since the publication of the second edition, changes have occurred in the fields of materials and manufacturing. Industries place more emphasis on manufacturing products and goods locally, nanostructured and smart materials appear more frequently in products, and more emphasis is placed on how products affect the environment. In addition, there has been a change in how the subjects of materials and manufacturing are taught. This third edition of a bestseller has been comprehensively revised and reorganized to reflect these changes. It also includes more real-world case studies. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.
This text provides comprehensive coverage of all the important aspects of modeling and simulating both physical and conceptual systems. Various real-life examples show how simulation plays a key role in understanding actual systems. The author presents a step-by-step procedure for modeling using top-down, bottom-up, and middle-out approaches. He develops models for complex systems and reduces their order so they can be applied effectively in online applications. He also uses soft computing techniques for modeling nonlinear, ill-defined, and complex systems. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.

Mark W. Maier Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA
Extensively revised to reflect the latest developments, the third edition of this bestselling text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.
