A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement tools,
techniques, and applications--Volume 1
"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express
it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of
knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the
stage of science." "-- Lord Kelvin"
Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and
job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state
requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track
progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits,
they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful,
useful data.
The" Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering" is the
most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering
measurements--beyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedic in
scope, "Volume 1 "spans several disciplines--Civil and
Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering,
and Industrial Engineering--and covers: New Measurement Techniques

Vital for engineers, scientists, and technical managers in
industry and government, "Handbook of Measurement in Science and
Engineering" will also prove ideal for members of major engineering
associations and academics and researchers at universities and
laboratories.
