A look at engineering education today— with an eye to tomorrow Engineering education is in flux. While it is increasingly important that engineers be innovative, entrepreneurial, collaborative, and able to work globally, there are virtually no programs that prepare students to meet these new challenges. Shaping Our World: Engineering Education for the 21st Century seeks to fill this void, exploring revolutionary approaches to the current engineering curriculum that will bring it fully up to date and prepare the next generation of would-be engineers for real and lasting professional success. Comprised of fourteen chapters written by respected experts on engineering education, the book is divided into three parts that address the need for change in the way engineering is taught; specific innovations that have been tested, why they matter, and how they can be more broadly instituted; and the implications for further changes. Designed to aid engineering departments in their transition towards new modes of learning and leadership in engineering education, the book describes how to put into practice educational programs that are aligned with upcoming changes, such as those proposed in the NAE's Engineer of 2020 reports. Addressing the need to change engineering education to meet the demands of the 21st century head on, Shaping Our World condenses current discussions, research, and trials regarding new methods into specific, actionable calls for change.

This scope of the book extends from process fundamentals to operational practices, and also includes the important aspect of environmental issues. At the operations level, comprehensive reviews of the major applications of both metals are outlined. Emphasis is placed on recent commercial developments with less energy intensive technologies which are in harmony with environmental conservation.  At the research level, the emphasis is placed on the better understanding of existing technologies and the development of new processing concepts.  Environmental concerns, associated with the processing of both metals, are considered along with acceptable treatment and handling of by-products, wastes and bleed streams by the industry.   Fundamental research and basic studies related to new Pb and Zn processes and to the understanding and basic theories of Pb and Zn processing are covered.  Global factors affecting the production of zinc and lead including the economic aspects of the industries, product development and marketing endeavors, and environmental and health issues.  Surveys of existing smelters and refineries for lead and zinc production are included.  Zinc production technology, lead production technology, applications such as the galvanization of steel, chemicals, ZnO and batteries are covered.  Environmental issues, recycling technologies, and product life cycle concerns are addressed.

A superalloy, or high-performance alloy, is an alloy that exhibits excellent mechanical strength at high temperatures. Superalloy development has been driven primarily by the aerospace and power industries. This compilation of papers from the Twelfth International Symposium on Superalloys, held from September 9-13, 2012, offers the most recent technical information on this class of materials.

This second edition is an updated and revised version of the original text. It offers detailed descriptions of the methods available to predict the occurrence of diffusion in alloys subjected to various processes. Major topic areas covered include diffusion equations, atomic theory of diffusion, diffusion in dilute alloys, diffusion in a concentration gradient, diffusion in non-metals, high diffusivity paths, and thermo- and electro-transport. This is an excellent textbook for use in metallurgical and materials science and engineering education.

This text provides a teachable and readable approach to transportphenomena (momentum, heat, and mass transport) by providingnumerous examples and applications, which are particularlyimportant to metallurgical, ceramic, and materials engineers.Because the authors feel that it is important for students andpracticing engineers to visualize the physical situations, theyhave attempted to lead the reader through the development andsolution of the relevant differential equations by applying thefamiliar principles of conservation to numerous situations and byincluding many worked examples in each chapter. 
The book is organized in a manner characteristic of other textsin transport phenomena. Section I deals with the properties andmechanics of fluid motion; Section II with thermal properties andheat transfer; and Section III with diffusion and mass transfer.The authors depart from tradition by building on a presumedunderstanding of the relationships between the structure andproperties of matter, particularly in the chapters devoted to thetransport properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, and thediffusion coefficients). In addition, generous portions of thetext, numerous examples, and many problems at the ends of thechapters apply transport phenomena to materials processing.

This book represents a collection of 30 selected papers from thework of John W. Cahn. Dr. Cahn is Senior Fellow at the MaterialsScience and Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute ofStandards and Technology, and is widely recognized as a founder ofmodern theory and thought in materials science. The range of hisresearch included kinetics and mechanisms of metallurgical phasechanges, surfaces, interfaces, defects, quasicrystals,thermodynamics, and other areas impacting the fundamentalunderstanding of materials science. 
Each paper includes a 2-4 page review of the impact andhistorical perspective of the work. This is an important collectionfor students, instructors, and scientists interested in materialsscience.

The second edition of this ancillary textbook contains updated work by all of the first edition's principal authors as well as an additional tutorial overview of the effects of coherency on phase equilibria and phase transformations. The following papers have been updated: Applications of Gibbs Energy-Composition Diagrams; Theory of Capillarity; The Kinetic Equations of Solid-Solid Nucleation Theory and Comparisons with Experimental Observations; and Moving Phase Boundary Problems. Often used in graduate courses on phase transformations and on broader topics of which transformations are an important component, this text presents more detailed mathematics than research or review papers or is customary in monographs and textbooks.
