Modeling and Control of Engineering Systems
Mark W. Maier
Clarence W. de Silva
The Art of Systems Architecting Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Extensively revised, the third edition of this bestselling text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, the book looks at architecture as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure. It provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.
This text provides a unified treatment of the modeling of mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal systems. It then systematically covers conventional, advanced, and intelligent control, instrumentation, experimentation, and design.

John Illston
“Invaluable to recently graduated engineers and university students … A comprehensive work that could well become the standard introductory text for early stage tunnellers, and could attract more engineers into tunnelling. As such, it should be heavily promoted.”
“A textbook such as this will not only be useful as a reference book for a number of … courses, but will also be helpful in providing a unified perspective to students learning about materials under these conditions.”
Retired Engineer, UK
—World Tunnelling
—D. Gunaratnam, Architectural Science Review
Tunneling provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. But it is a complex process that requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as structural issues. This book covers the whole range of information that tunnel engineers need to know.

Nanoscience & Technology Nanotechnology Understanding Small Systems, Second Edition Ben Rogers, Sumita Pennathur, and Jesse Adams A 2011 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award Winner
“This updated work takes the revolutionary concepts and techniques that have traditionally been fodder for graduate study and makes them accessible for all. Covering subjects ranging from materials science to mechanics and biotechnology to photonics, [the authors] deftly introduce the reader to each topic and quickly explain why it is important on the nanoscale. An exciting feature is the ‘back of the envelope’ examples, where the reader is walked through ‘quick and dirty’ calculations to illustrate and understand (mathematically) the complex concepts discussed. … this outstanding introduction to the broad field of nanotechnology provides a solid foundation for further study. Highly recommended.” —N.M. Fahrenkopf, CHOICE, 2011
Through real-world examples, problems, illustrations, and applications, the authors accomplish the delicate task of keeping the book engaging while not glossing over real explanations of complex concepts. They take a systems approach, demonstrating how the various areas underlying nanotechnology come together to create systems with unique functions and characteristics.

Emphasizing a practical approach for engineers and scientists, this text avoids overly theoretical explanations and shows students how differential equations are derived by applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. This resource also covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. In addition, the authors discuss how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations in which analytical solutions cannot be determined. • Teaches how to model engineering systems • Reviews the necessary physics material • Explores how to obtain the analytical solution of differential equations using actual physical systems
