47、1 Approach Manufacturing engineering is more a practice than a pure science. The intent of this book is to review and discuss the comprehensive and sophisticated knowledge and practice of automotive manufacturing. This book studies the proven technologies and processes of automotive manufacturing, a

48、s well as its new advances. Hence, this book is fundamentals focused and applications oriented. In automotive manufacturing, professionals are practicing with the knowledge of many subjects. This book covers most of the manufacturing areas. In addition, it may be considered 80% technical and 20% man

49、agerial in nature, which reflects my viewpoints on automotive manufacturing. I am passionate about automotive manufacturing engineering, an appealing and dynamic engineering field, and having always been excited about learning new stuff. I recognize a significant gap between academic research and industrial practice as I worked in academia for 17 years and then over 16 years in the automotive industry. My appreciation of automotive manufacturing engineering motivates me to put my efforts into filling the gap by providing interdisciplinary review and discussion on manufac- turing techno
