"The introductory chapter does a handsome job of explaining what Mechanical Engineering is and what Mechanical Engineers do...it draws the potential student a very accurate picture of the profession while also drawing the student more deeply into the excitement of Mechanical Engineering."
"I believe the author does an excellent job of taking his audience along at a comfortable and appropriate pace. Additionally, he does a good job of building his reader's knowledge base as he proceeds through the text. The author's communication skills are excellent." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, Dr. Jonathan Wickert was a research fellow at the University of Cambridge, and then joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University in 1990. Among his courses is "Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering," a large freshman course that he developed for majors and non-majors. This course includes lectures, a computer-aided design and manufacturing project, and a team design project. Dr. Wickert has received awards in recognition of his teaching and research from the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the American Society for Engineering Education, and he is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Professor Wickert's research focuses on applied mechanics and the vibration of mechanical systems. The research philosophy combines physical modeling, analysis, computation, and measurement with a view towards understanding fundamental phenomena in the dynamics of engineered systems. Results of the research are applied to tape and disk drives used for computer and video data storage, manufacturing machines and equipment, automotive brakes, and rotating machinery. Theoretical topics that are investigated include discretization methods, gyroscopic systems, and perturbation techniques used in the treatment of non-linear vibration. In the Dynamic Systems Laboratory, Professor Wickert's group develops specialized test stands and measurement techniques. Capabilities include high-bandwidth vibration measurement through laser interferometry, optical diagnostics, experimental modal analysis, and time domain, state space, and spectral measurements of dynamic response. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
