Synopsis
With a focus on electromechanical systems in a variety of fields, this accessible introductory text brings you coverage of the full range of electrical mechanical devices used today. Youll gain a comprehensive understanding of the design process and get valuable insights into good design practice., With a focus on electromechanical systems in a variety of fields, this accessible introductory text brings you coverage of the full range of electrical mechanical devices used today. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the design process and get valuable insights into good design practice. UNDERSTANDING ELECTROMECHANICAL ENGINEERING will be of interest to anyone in need of a non-technical, interdisciplinary introduction to the thriving field of mechatronics., Understanding Electro-Mechanical Engineering: An Introduction to Mechatronics by Lawrence J. Kamm A Volume in the IEEE Press Understanding Science & Technology Series "An outstanding job in identifying and describing virtually all electro-mechanical devices in existence today." Dennis Lieu, University of California, Berkeley "Thorough, detailed, and written at a comprehensible level." Seymour Kremen, Engineering Consultant "Larry Kamm combines electrical and mechanical engineering to the highest degree of theoretical knowledge and practical experience." Jacob Rabinow, Consultant Widely practiced, but rarely taught, the principles of electro-mechanical (mechatronic) devices and systems are of more relevance to electrical engineering than ever before. Electro-mechanical devices such as keyboards, printers, and hard and floppy disk drives are parts of every computer system. Microminiature electro-mechanical devices etched from silicon are now key transducers and motors. With a focus on electro-mechanical devices and systems in a variety of fields, this accessible introductory text brings you coverage of the full range of electro-mechanical devices used today. You ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the design process and get valuable insights into good design practice. Understanding Electro-Mechanical Engineering will be of interest to anyone in need of a non-technical, interdisciplinary introduction to the thriving field of mechatronics.

    The book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.

    This item was reported mailed within 3 days of order. However, I did not receive it. I waited 4 days past expected delivery date before notifying seller. Seller reported that the item must have been list in the mail, and I received an apology and a refund the next day. Disappointed in but receiving the book, but I would definitely purchase from this seller again
