General Technical Writing A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists Phillip A. Laplante The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA Series: What Every Engineer Should Know
Fundamentals of Sensors for Engineering and Science Patrick F. Dunn University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA
Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Complementing the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing, it helps readers understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions.
Written by the author of the popular Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science, Second Edition, this text takes a specialized practical approach to the basics of sensors and measurement, enabling readers to make informed decisions when choosing sensors for applications. The author emphasizes the underlying physics of each type of sensor and its basic characteristics and illustrates the various uses of sensors via current applications in engineering and science. Human and biomimetic sensors also are reviewed. The text includes examples and chapter problems and provides online links to helpful ancillary materials.

Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science Second Edition
Measurement, Data Analysis, and Sensor Fundamentals for Engineering and Science Patrick F. Dunn University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA
A combination of two texts authored by Patrick Dunn, this set covers sensor technology as well as basic measurement and data analysis subjects, a combination not covered together in other references. Written for junior-level mechanical and aerospace engineering students, the topic coverage allows for flexible approaches to using the combination book in courses. MATLAB® applications are included in all sections of the combination, and concise, applied coverage of sensor technology is offered. Numerous chapter examples and problems are included, with complete solutions available. Catalog no. K13493, April 2011, 614 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-7529-2, $125.95 / £79.99
