The Employment Interview Handbook or Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design Second Edition

The Employment Interview Handbook

Author: Robert W Eder

Research from 26 new authors has been integrated into the revision of The Employment Interview Handbook, a successful volume previously published in 1989 by SAGE Publications.

This new Handbook provides a state-of-the-art review of the research in the area of the employment interview. The editors provide an integrated examination of various streams of research. Leading scholars author the individual chapters and discuss the future of their particular line of research, raising issues in need of further investigation. The book concludes with a summary of the volume implications for theory building, research methods, and effective practice.

This Handbook is particularly appropriate for faculty and students in Industrial/Organization Psychology and Human Resource Management as well as researchers and practitioners in employee selection and employment interview procedures and policies.

Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design, Second Edition

Author: Mahmoud M Farag

This student-friendly text illustrates how to balance design, materials, process selection, and economic and environmental analysis to optimize manufacturing processes for a given component. Following an overview of product design and development, the three-part book first discusses types of failure and ways to minimize it. Then it examines how material selection and manufacturing processes influence engineering design. The third part integrates technical and economic aspects of material selection. New and revised topics in this edition include new design considerations, environmental impact assessments, life cycle and recycling economics, and materials substitution.
