Materials for Engineering Design, An Introduction

Materials for Engineering Design, An Introduction

Introduction The course, Engineering Design on which this book is based, came about when the author was being interviewed to teach at Cambridge Ruskin International College, based at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Almost as a throw away comment came this “We have this course in engineering. You’re an engineer, I’m sure you can do it!” Thus began a journey that led to this book. This wide ranging book in technology and its history has in mind two main groups of people. First, for students primarily at foundation level from a range of architecture, computer science based studies, as well as traditional engineering subjects. It complements other mathematics and physics courses taken by computer scientists and engineers, or more creative disciplines taken by architectures and other design based courses. A second group is for a more general audience who wish to have a appreciation for engineering and its history without the mathematics or physics that can frighten off the reader or lose the reader in the mathematical details. In essence, this book provides an introduction to technology and its history that the author, looking back, would have liked to have been given at the start of his engineering studies many years ago. As a result the author has spent a life-time learning about these subject areas either from professional or personal interest. This book, is part of a series of books introducing Engineering Design in the following subject • Materials, An classification and properties • A history of western architecture, and design of bridges • A history of computing • history and categories The author has used a story-telling style of English, to provide an engaging narrative that leads the reader though the engineered world that we live in. The hope and expectation is that the reader will have a clearer appreciation of why the world is the way it is! Robin McKenzie has had a career in engineering, technology marketing, and in business teaching and research. He is also an ordained minister in the Church of England, where he has responsibility for a parish in a village close to Cambridge, England.
