To develop innovations in quantum engineering and nanosystems, designers need to adopt the expertise that has been developed in research laboratories. This requires a thorough understanding of the experimental measurement techniques and theoretical models, based on the principles of quantum mechanics. This book presents experimental methods enabling the development and characterization of materials at the nanometer scale, based on practical engineering...

Water constantly moves through an immense global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans all over the world, condensing to form clouds, precipitating as rain and snow, which then flows back to the oceans. Hydroelectric power takes advantage of this water cycle to drive machinery or create electricity. Hydroelectric power uses moving water as energy. Because the water cycle is an endless and constantly recharging system, it is an excellent source...

Today, the science of management is big business, with leading gurus and consultants raking in billions of dollars each year. It's hard to believe that little more than a century ago, the concept of management as a separate discipline didn't even exist. Mechanical engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor almost single-handedly pioneered the field with the publication of this classic text. Managers or those in technical or industrial fields will find this

Explore a complex mechanical system where electronics and mechanical engineers work together as a cross-functional team. Using a working example, this book is a practical "how to" guide to designing a drone system. As system design becomes more and more complicated, systematic, and organized, there is an increasingly large gap in how system design happens in the industry versus what is taught in academia. While the system design basics and fundamentals...
