Feature Summary
"Design-Oriented Problems" are now included in each chapter; these involve materials selection, relate concepts more clearly to engineering practice, and help satify ABET requirements for design content in all engineering courses.
"Chapter Openers" have been added to give readers a sense of how engineers use each chapter's content in the real world.
An Online Learning Center, featuring a Cosmos-driven solutions manual, PowerPoint slides, FE Exam interactive questions, Materials for MEMS entry, additional case studies & design problems, tie-in to BlackBoard and WebCT, glossary/flashcards for each chapter, "Virtual Professor" online lectures for difficult concepts, overview of book feature and numerous links to help students do extended study in different areas of materials science; and Ashby Materials Selection charts.
Definitions are included at the end of each chapter, organized under the chapter sections. These provide a good review for students, and easy reference in a course that is heavy on terminology. The revision will retain the feature, with new and revised entries brought in as needed.
A concise, readable style is used throughout; readers are given understandable explanations without the excessive detail other textbooks routinely include.
