5.0 out of 5 stars
Every mechanical engineer should have this book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mechanical Engineering Design (Paperback)
This book is not a reference on all the topics it mentions, but it will give you the fundamentals you will need most often. I have often come to this book after looking through more "advanced" texts and have been amazed by its simple treatment. This book, along with a design handbook is a must have for any mechanical engineer. Also as another reviewer mentioned, it comes in real handy when checking FE analyses. Because most of the text gives formulas, checking your mesh becomes very easy. But this is not a "one-stop" design book. You will need your basic texts on solid mechanics, engineering materials, and a good design handbook. (I use Rothbart, but you could use Marks')

1.0 out of 5 stars
Unsuitable for undergraduates,
By Stephen Ross (New Haven, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanical Design Engineering, 6/e with Student Resources CD-ROM (Hardcover)
The original Mechanical Engineering Design book written by Joseph Shigley, and later, with Larry Mitchell, was an excellent undergraduate text; it was readable at the introductory level, and it contained enough information and methodology for use as a good reference book after graduation. Unfortunately, this revised text, which was rewritten by Charles Mischke, is thoroughly unreadable, obfuscating, and is totally unsuitable as a text for undergraduate mechanical engineering students. The book is full of nuances, subtleties and informative data that do make it useful as a reference book on the shelf of an experienced design engineer, but not as a text for students learning the subject. For those who plan to teach a course for mechanical engineering majors on this topic, I recommend other texts such a Jack Collins' Mechanical Design of Machine Elements and Machines, Wiley, 2003.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for Machine Design Engineers,
By "bouyscout" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechancal Engineering Design (Hardcover)
It's not a complete guide but relatively comprehensive. I used this book in my undergrad studies and continue to use it on a monthly basis ten years later. My first copy suffered from binding failure (as noted by another reviewer) and was replaced by my employer.It may not be a good text for self-teaching but it is a fine reference later in your engineering career. Both the authors are well respected and the methods are classical yet readily accepted as "good engineering practice."
