Design with Microprocessors for Mechanical Engineers by Kent Stifler (Mississippi State University, USA)
Designing with microprocessors or mechatronics (the integration of mechanical and electronic components) is an emerging field within mechanical engineering. This text covers microprocessor-based design specifically for mechanical engineers; it is suitable for upper level courses in Design with Microprocessors offered in Mechanical Engineering departments. The emphasis is on microprocessor-based design in consumer products rather than in computers. The book is intended to help the mechanical engineer become familiar with the microprocessor as a design tool.
