Book Description

This open access book takes a deep dive into the depths of modern engineering practice. With wit, precision, and just the right amount of indignation, this book exposes the creeping rot behind today’s glossy prototypes, frameworks, standards, and fads.

• Ignacio Chechile is an engineer based in Helsinki, Finland, with more than 23 years of experience developing systems of many different sizes and complexities.

• Engineering is Broken: We Are Doing It the Wrong Way (Ignacio Chechile)

• Engineering Design Optimization (Joaquim R. Martins, et al)

  The philosophy is to provide a detailed enough explanation and analysis of optimization methods so that readers can implement a basic working version. Practical tips are included for common issues encountered in practical engineering design optimization.

• Fundamental Engineering Optimization Methods (Kamran Iqbal)

  This bookcovers the fundamentals of commonly used optimization methods in engineering design. These include graphical optimization, linear and nonlinear programming, numerical optimization, and discrete optimization.

• Optimization for Engineering Systems (Ralph W. Pike)

  This book stands at the interface of mathematics and industrial applications of optimization. The topics were selected for their breadth of application to the optimization of engineering systems, especially continuous ones.

• Generalized Topology Optimization for Structural Design

  The generalized Topology Optimization framework presented in this book breaks the mold of many conventional thoughts in structural topology optimization, enable topology optimization techniques to solve a much wider range of practical problems.

• Search Algorithms for Engineering Optimization

  Heuristic Search is an important sub-discipline of optimization theory. This book explores a variety of applications for search methods and techniques in different fields of electrical engineering. By organizing relevant results and apps.

• Convex Optimization (Stephen Boyd, et al.)

  On recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them. It contains many worked examples in fields such as engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, finance, and economics.

• Global Optimization Algorithms - Theory and Application

  This book is devoted to global optimization algorithms, which are methods to find optimal solutions for given problems. It especially focuses on Evolutionary Computation by discussing evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, Genetic Programming, etc.

• Algorithms for Decision Making (Mykel Kochenderfer, et al)

  This textbook provides a broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, covering the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them.

• Knapsack Problems: Algorithms and Computer Implementations

  The text fully develops an algorithmic approach to Knapsack Problems without losing mathematical rigor. It provides a comprehensive overview of the methods for solving Knapsack Problems (KP), its variants and generalizations.

• Ant Colony Optimization - Techniques and Applications

  The book first describes the translation of observed ant behavior into working optimization algorithms. The Ant Colony Optimization is then introduced and viewed in the general context of combinatorial optimization.
