Dr. Ihab Ragai

I took the course associated with this book back in 1993. It was one of the toughest courses in my mechanical engineering undergraduate curriculum. Yet I fell in love with the material we had covered. It gave me a whole new perspective on engineers’ capabilities and ingenuity. This course and this book were the reasons why I chose to specialize in machine design in my professional career. More than 25 years later, this book is still being used in academia for machine design-related courses.
