Preface
The word ‘engineering’ is used almost continuously in our speech in today’s world. What is engineering? It is the
creative and imaginative application of scientific principles to design, conceive and develop machines, structures,
manufacturing processes or apparatus. It also constructs or operates such instruments with full knowledge of their
design and forecasts their performance under specific operating conditions. Engineering uses practical applications
of science and mathematics to solve problems. It also uses mathematics and scientific fields such as physics to find
appropriate solutions to specific problems or to make improvements to our daily lives. For all of us at every moment
of time, engineering in its myriad forms improves the ways that we work, communicate, travel and entertain
ourselves. Engineers can be termed as problem-solvers who work towards making things perform more efficiently,
quickly and less expensively. Engineering is such a vast arena that it has innumerable interconnections with society
and human behavior. Each and every product or construction used by man in modern society has been influenced
by engineering. Engineering is a very powerful instrument to bring about changes in the environment, society and
economies. Engineers thus have a wide range of study options and career opportunities that allow them to design,
build and manage their ideas into reality.
I wish to personally thank all the contributing authors who not only shared their research work but also guided
me from time to time in the editing process. I also wish to thank my publisher for giving me this unparalleled
opportunity.
