Engineering Management in a Global Environment

M. Kemal Atesmen completed his high school studies at Robert Academy in Istanbul Turkey in 1961. He received his B. Sc. degree from Case Western Reserve University, his M. Sc. degree from Stanford University, and his Ph. D. degree from Colorado State University, all in mechanical engineering. He is a life member of ASME. He initially pursued an academic and an industrial career in parallel and became an associate professor in mechanical engineering before dedicating his professional life to international engineering management and engineering project management for thirty-three years. He helped many young engineers in the international arena to bridge the gap between college and professional life in automotive, computer component, data communication, and offshore oil industries.He published six books, sixteen technical papers, and has four patents. His books are "Global Engineering Project Management", CRC Press, 2008, "Everyday Heat Transfer Problems – Sensitivities to Governing Variables", ASME Press, 2009, "Understanding the World Around through Simple Mathematics", Infinity Publishing, 2011, "A Journey Through Life, Wilson Printing, 2013, "Project Management Case Studies and Lessons Learned", CRC Press, 2015, and "Process Control Techniques for High Volume Production", CRC Press, 2016.

"This book is an outstanding contribution to Engineering Management. Dr. Atesmen is uniquely qualified to write this book due to his wide-ranging experience in high technology, engineering management in a number of industries, working with globally diverse clients and teams. This book should be required reading in upper undergraduate/graduate engineering and business curricula. It is very well-written with many real-world experiences spanning decades, countries, and industries that make this book very unique in the field."— Husam ("Sam") Gurol, General Atomics-Retired, California, USA
