This book is dedicated to undergraduate and graduate students. This book is designed to be a textbook that is prepared
primarily for junior?level and senior?level students in multidisciplinary engineering fields including, but not limited to,
aerospace, chemical, civil, environmental, industrial and manufacturing, materials science and engineering, mechanical, paper science and engineering, petroleum engineering, and business management. The subject matters covered in
this textbook will be suitable for offering a course in multiple engineering disciplines within colleges and schools of engineering programs.
This book has 10 chapters. I have written the text for Chapters 1 through 8 for students in clear and simple language. Theories, real?world problems, and applications are embedded throughout these first eight chapters so that students can check their understanding before continuing on to new sections. Chapters 9 and 10 are more suitable for a graduate level course in sustainable engineering, sustainable manufacturing, or related topics.
