If you are not already in a management position, chances are you soon will be. According to the Bureau of Statistics, the fastest growing areas of employment for engineers are in engineering/science management. With over 200 contributing authors, The Technology Management Handbook informs and assists the more than 1.5 million engineering managers in the practice of technical management. Written from the technical manager's perspective and written for technologists who are managers, The Technology Management Handbook presents in-depth information on the science and practice of management. Its comprehensive coverage encompasses the field of technology management, offering information on: oEntrepreneurship oInnovations oEconomics oMarketing oProduct Development oManufacturing oFinance oAccounting oProject Management oHuman Resources oInternational Business

For courses in Control Theory Developing Problem-Solving Skills Through Integrated Design and Analysis The purpose of Dorf's Modern Control Systems, Thirteenth Edition is to present the structure of feedback control theory and to provide a sequence of exciting discoveries. The book demonstrates various real-world, global engineering problems while touching on evolving design strategies like green technology. Some of the themes at-hand include climate change, clean water, sustainability, waste management, emissions reduction, and minimizing energy. Throughout the text, students apply theory to the design and analysis of control systems. The Thirteenth Edition continues to explore the role of and need for automated and precise control systems in green engineering. Key examples of green engineering, such as wind turbine control and the modeling of a photovoltaic generator to achieve maximum power delivery, are discussed in detail. The text is organized around the concept of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, it covers topics such as classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots.

Striking just the right balance between formal and abstract approaches, this text proceeds from generalities to specifics. Topics include function-theoretical and algebraic aspects, manifolds and integration theory, several important structures, and adaptation to classical mechanics. "First-rate. . . deserves to be widely read." — American Mathematical Monthly. 1980 edition.

Technology Ventures is the first textbook to thoroughly examine a global phenomenon known as "technology entrepreneurship". Now in its second edition, this book integrates the most valuable entrepreneurship and technology management theories from some of the world's leading scholars and educators with current examples of new technologies and an extensive suite of media resources. Dorf and Byers's comprehensive collection of action-oriented concepts and applications provides both students and professionals with the tools necessary for success in starting and growing a technology enterprise. Technology Ventures details the critical differences between scientific ideas and true business opportunities.

Dorf/Bishops Lehrbuch gilt seit langem als Klassiker auf dem Gebiet der modernen Regelungssysteme und liegt jetzt endlich auch auf Deutsch vor. Der besondere Reiz liegt sicher in den ausführlich behandelten Fallbeispielen aus der Praxis der Regelungstechnik wie Medizintechnik und Unterhaltungselektronik u. a. Außerdem sind viele Rechenbeispiele komplett vorgerechnet. Dieses Lehrwerk ist für den angehenden Ingenieur und Regelungstechniker unverzichtbar. Zielgruppe: Studierende der Ingenieurwissenschaften wie Elektrotechnik, Maschinenbau, Mechatronik und Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik an Universitäten und Fachhochschulen im Grundstudium.
