Assuming no formal background in statistics, this book stresses the engineering problem solving implications of statistical analysis and seeks to develop an understanding of scientific/statistical methods as applied to engineering problems.

This well-balanced volume highlights developments in the field of large-scale systems (LSS)-presenting the stochastic aspects and techniques of LSS that are readily applicable to real situations.

Project management as a discipline grew out of the need during WWII for a system to manage the schedule, cost, and specifications of large multi-task projects. Since that time, the use of project management techniques in general business has risen sharply, and well-respected firms have used project management techniques to increase market share, enhance the quality of final products, and improve customer service. Dividing the management of projects into 5 general activities, this book provides a straight-ahead, step-by-step process for getting a project done on schedule, under budget, and according to performance specifications. This easy-to-follow primer specifically addresses the needs of the beginning project manager. This new edition incorporates examples from Microsoft Project--the most widely used PC-based project management software.

A guide to understanding and becoming familiar with the systems engineering process, its application, and its value to the successful implementation of systems development projects. The book describes the systems engineering process as a multidisciplinary effort. The process is defined in terms of specific tasks to be accomplished, with great emphasis placed on defining the problem that is being addressed prior to designing the solution.

Written for all engineers working in electromagnetic modelling or analysis, this new book assesses the full range of classical and modern methods for problem solving. Beginning with basic field theory, it continues with solutions to central problems in electromagnetics including a discussion of one, two and three space dimensions, linear, nonlinear and anisotropic media.

Tried and tested guidelines and procedures . Requires minimum mathematical background.
Contains detailed instructions for testing network transport layers, routers, switches, hubs, WAN links and the network application and presentation layers.

This innovative text directly addresses the problems inherent in creating and building new and complex systems for electronics, computer, software, aerospace, and government purposes. Today's challenges demand that a new class of tools, heuristic and qualitative, be added to the familiar ones of analysis and optimization. This book provides these tools by introducing the non-qualitative architectural concepts of systems thinking, heuristics, tensions, feedback architectures, modeling, and progressive design.

Covers the eight traditional areas of civil engineering: construction, envirnomental, geotechnical,hydraulic, materials, structural, surveying and transportation. stressing professional applications with an emphasis on ready-to-use materials. Contains many formulas and tables which can be used in real situations.

Covers basic principles of telecommunications including 20 articles on fundamental topics that provide a through understanding of modern communications applications and theory. Also includes the latest on international telecommuications standards.

Describes fundamental principles," best practices", research horizons, and their impact upon the professions and society. Provides helpful glossaries of key terms, references, and sources for obtaining further information, including World Wide Web sites.

Combines relevant techniques used in the thermal and materials sciences, fluid engineering and engineering mechanics to illustrate the engineering design process from start to finish.

Save valuable time by turning here for facts and formulas you haven't used in a long time. With a wealth of modern data, charts, and tables, this concise and portable guide puts the latest information, techniques, equipment, and industrial codes at your fingertips. You'll find comprehensive coverage of electricity and electronics, data processing, mathematics, controls, materials, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.

This all-new companion volume to the best-selling Wiley Engineer's Desk Reference will help working engineers, engineering supervisors, project managers, and administrators maintain a balance between the conflicting demands of the technical and operational aspects of the job.
Written for those who have the technical knowledge, but want proven operational tools to enhance performance, this book provides tested nuts and bolts techniques for bidding, contracts, cost estimating, job specifications, project scheduling, quality assurance, plus the basics of marketing, sales, and human resources development activities.

This practical reference/text discusses the design and optimum use of thermal analysis instrumentation for material property measurement-detailing how the instruments work, what they measure, potential pitfalls to accurate experimentation, and fitting experimental results to theoretical models.
Featuring nearly 250 helpful figures and equations.

This introduction to materials science for engineers examines not only the physical and engineering properties of materials, but also their history, uses, development, and some of the implications of resource depletion, materials substitutions, and so forth. Topics covered include: the stone, copper, bronze, and iron ages; physical properties of metals, ceramics, and plastics; electrical and magnetic properties of metals, semiconductors, and insulators; band structure of metals; metallurgy of iron.
