Finding and Utilizing Factual and Data Resources

In our daily study, life and work, we often need to search for knowledge and information about facts and data. Fact resources can help us understand the information of specific institutions or individuals, as well as the meanings of certain terms and expressions; numerical resources can help us obtain reliable scientific data, economic statistics and operational data, etc. How can we find authoritative and reliable sources of fact and data resources? Libraries have purchased many fact and data resource databases, and there are also a large number of open access fact and data resources on the Internet. This lecture will introduce to you the ways to obtain various fact and data resources, common tools and usage methods.

Manufacturing and Design

Title: Manufacturing and Design Author: Erik Tempelman, Hugh Shercliff, Bruno Ninaber van Eyben Press: Butterworth-Heinemann ISBN: 9780080999227 Edition: 1st Introduction: Manufacturing and Design presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production: thinking in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered here include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling; and more.
