Mahmoud M. Farag - Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design

Materials and Process Selection for Engineering Design

Fourth Edition

Dr. Mahmoud M. Faragreceived his BSc in mechanical engineering from Cairo University and his MMet and PhD from Sheffield University, United Kingdom. He currently serves as a professor of mechanical engineering at the American University in Cairo (AUC).

Dr. Farag's academic interests include engineering materials and manufacturing. He has published four engineering textbooks, edited one book, and written several engineering book chapters. He has also authored and coauthored about 100 papers in academic journals and conference proceedings on issues related to the effect of microstructure on the behavior of engineering materials. His current research interests include studying the behavior of nanostructured materials, with an emphasis on NiTi alloys, natural fiber-reinforced plastics, biodegradable composite materials, and using quantitative methods in selecting materials and processes for engineering applications. In addition to his academic work, he has extensive industrial and consulting experience.

Dr. Farag has more than 40 years of teaching experience and has taught a variety of materials courses at different levels, ranging from introductory overview to sophomore/junior students to advanced topics to students pursuing their master's degree. He has also taught manufacturing courses, focusing on how processing affects the properties of materials. One of Dr. Farag's favorite courses, which he created at AUC and has written textbooks for, is materials and process selection for engineering design. This is a capstone course for mechanical/materials engineering senior students, which integrates economic analysis with the process of product design and material and process selection.

Dr. Farag was a visiting scientist/scholar at the University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), MIT, the University of Kentucky-Lexington (United States), Aachen Technical University (Germany), and Joint Research Center, Commission of the European Communities (Ispra, Italy). He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; the Materials Information Society; the American Society for Metals (ASM) International; the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (United Kingdom); and the Egyptian Society for Engineers. He is listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in Science and Engineering,and Who's Who in Finance and Industry.Dr. Farag is a recipient of the Egyptian State Award for the promotion of science and the First Order of Merit in Arts and Sciences.
