Description
Production Technology (Vol. I) is a ready reckoner data handbook for the practicing engineers and technicians in the manufacturing engineering industry. It aims to re-orient the students or the just-passed-out graduates and develop in them the skills required for the industry as a whole, in particular, for the manufacturing engineering industry. It gives reference or guidance data in the form of figures, tables and photos. This book intends to be readily referred as a reference guide for all relevant subjects with appropriate application knowledge, which is specified in design practices. The book is designed to provide the students an industry-compatible education. Inclusive of all sorts of practical approaches, this book would be an asset to both students and industry as it bridges the gap between educational institutions and the industry and gives an insight to suitable subjects in abridged manner.
