Resumen: | In creating the value-added product in not distant future, it is necessary and inevitable to establish a holistic and though-evoking approach to the engineering problem, which should be at least associated with the inter-disciplinary knowledge and thought processes across the whole engineering spheres. It is furthermore desirable to integrate it with trans-disciplinary aspects ranging from manufacturing culture, through liberal-arts engineering, and industrial sociology. Â The thought-evoking approach can be exemplified and typified by representative engineering problems: unveiling essential features in â_~Tangential Force Ratio and Interface Pressureâ_T, prototype development for â_~Bio-mimetic Needleâ_T and application of â_~Water-jet Machining to Artificial Hip Jointâ_T, product innovation in â_~Heat Sink for Computerâ_T, application of â_~Graph Theoryâ_T to similarity evaluation of production systems, leverage among reciprocity attributes in â_~Industrial and Engineering Designs for Machine Enclosureâ_T, and academic interpretation of skills of mature technician in â_~Scrapingâ_T. Â The book is intended to cultivate the multi-talented engineer of the next generation by providing them with the future perspective and ideas for challenging research and development subjects.
