Serope Kalpakjian is professor emeritus of mechanical and materials engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He is the author of Mechanical Processing of Materials and co-author of Lubricants and Lubrication in Metalworking Operations (with E.S. Nachtman); both of the first editions of his textbooks Manufacturing Processes for Engineering. Materials and Manufacturing Engineering and Technology have received the M. Eugene Merchant Manufacturing Textbook Award. He has conducted research in various areas of manufacturing, is the author of numerous technical papers and articles in handbooks and encyclopedias, and has edited several conference proceedings. He also has been editor


and co-editor of various technical journals and has served on the editorial board of Encyclopedia Americana.

Steven R. Schmid is professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where he teaches and conducts research in the general areas of manufacturing, machine design, and tribology.


He received his B.S. degree from Illinois Institute of Technology (with Honors) and Master's and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University, all inmechanical engineering. He has received numerous awards, including the John T. Parsons Award from SME, the Newkirk Award from ASME, the Kaneb Center Teaching Award (three times), and the Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Excellence in Teaching.
