How To: Textbook Rental

Looking to rent a book? Rent Essentials of Modern Materials Science and Engineering [ISBN: 9780471753650] for the semester, quarter, and short term or search our site for other textbooks by Newell, James A.. Renting a textbook can save you up to 90% from the cost of buying.

Summary

While other materials science books focus heavily on metals, Newell's Material Science and Engineering offers a unique approach that emphasizes modern materials such as polymers, ceramics, and composites. The book explores the key concepts and fundamentals that are needed to make informed decisions in the field. The importance of economics in decision-making and consideration of the entire life cycle of products are themes that are also integrated throughout the chapters. Engineers will be able to use this as a reference for the materials selection issues that they'll deal with throughout their careers.

Author Biography

Dr. James A. Newell is a professor of engineering at Rowan University. He received his PhD in engineering concentrating in polymers from Clemson in 1994. In 1997, he was named as the Dow Outstanding New Faculty Member by the North Midwest section of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). In 2001, he received the Ray Fahien Award from ASEE for contributions to Chemical Engineering education. Along with Kevin Dahm, he also received the 2001 Professional Interest Council Group III (PIC-III) Best Paper Award at the 2001 ASEE conference in Albuquerque.
