- Fundamentals of Manufacturing, Second Edition - Fundamentals of Manufacturing Supplement - Fundamentals of Manufacturing Workbook

In accordance with SME's body of knowledge, together they provide a structured review for the Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) examination and the Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT).

The major areas of manufacturing science reviewed include mathematics, physics, materials science and metallurgy, engineering drawing, planning and strategy, metrics and the SI system. The Supplement covers more advanced areas, including: personal effectiveness, machining processes analysis, forming processes analysis, joining and fastening analysis, deburring and finishing analysis, fixture and jig design, advanced quality analysis, engineering economics analysis, management theory and practice, and industrial safety, health, and environmental management. Sample problems and questions at the end of each chapter are available for practice. Answers are included to confirm the problem-solving process.

The Workbook is an essential study tool, helping to determine where further work is needed. It contains 200 questions and solutions weighted according to the Certified Manufacturing Technologist body of knowledge. Questions address mathematical fundamentals, physics and engineering sciences, materials, product design, manufacturing processes, production systems, automated systems and control, quality, manufacturing management, and personal/professional effectiveness.
