Description
Case studies are an important method of stimulation and motivation for students to learn tools and techniques, as well as a broader understanding of subject issues. This book is the first of two volumes in preparation by the European Society for Materials Education. Volume 2 is planned to appear in 1993. It combines aspects of materials, manufacture and design in different measure throughout the case studies it presents. It aims to serve the student or the teacher needing contextual material, and illustrates the synergy obtained by considering the many facets of a technological issue rather than the focussed view of a specialist. Leading scientists and engineers have cooperated closely in the production of this volume of case studies, so achieving a synergy which makes these studies relevant educational material for both industry and academia. They portray the best of European creativity by engineers, scientists and managers in their chosen fields: an important topic in the near future where competitiveness of our European industry in the global market will be vital for a thriving society.
