Résumé

Smith's Foundations of materials science and engineering 3/e provides an imminently readable and understandable overview of the field for undergraduate students in engineering. Through concise explanations, numerous worked-out examples, a wealth of illustrations & photos, and a brand new set of New Media resources the new edition of Smith provides the most student-friendly introduction to the science & engineering of materials.

Key features

Student-oriented writing style, that is clear and uncluttered. Smith is particularly good at integrating examples within text explanations to illustrate what a basic concept is all about.
Students don't lose track of the engineering importance of the materials concepts they're studying.
Frequent worked-out Example Problems: Smith's worked out examples are concise, clear, and make excellent use of tables and illustrations. We need to be sure a good number of new ones are included in 3/e.
Definitions are included at the end of each chapter, organized under the chapter's A-head 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.
Chapter Problems; the current edition organizes problems by chapter section, a convention that will be retained. We will add new problems with a design orientation in the new edition, at the end of the chapter problem sets.
Web site resources, featuring PowerPoint slides, additional case studies, overview of book feature and numerous links to help students do extended study in different areas of materials science; and Ashby Materials Selection charts (permission issues to be explored).
