Biomedical Engineering

From levers to lasers, from cameras to computers, this is an amusingly presented overview of the machines and inventions that shape our lives.

This book is an unconventional introduction to physics and science that starts with whole objects and looks inside them to see what makes them work.

From Discovery Communications, this website provides easy-to-understand explanations of how the world actually works.

This book covers the basics of selecting materials for prototypes and of buy / build decisions. Examples are interspersed throughout the book. Despite end-of-chapter questions, this book reads more like a practical handbook for beginners than a textbook.

Written from an engineering perspective, this book describes the process and challenges of moving an idea into a manufactured product. The ramp up from design to production is described using a step-wise process, with outlines of GANTT charts and descriptions of the risks and costs to consider at each step.

Coving such topics as machining processing, press work, manufacturing estimating, and material management, this handbook gives readers ready access to information on specific subjects in manufacturing engineering.

From concept development to final production, this comprehensive text thoroughly examines the design, prototyping, and fabrication of engineering products and emphasizes modern developments in system modeling, analysis, and automatic control.
