Description
This classic text has now been completely revised and updated, making it an ideal introductory course in reliability for a wide range
of engineering qualifications, including City & Guilds 8030 and HNC/Ds. A new chapter focuses on the role of the microprocessor and microcomputer
controller, and the use of algorithms for monitoring system performance. The addition of numerous problems, self-check questions and
exam-style questions makes this an extremely useful book for courses with an element of independent study.
G W A Dummer was born
in 1909, and his career included pioneering work in the field of radar. Working on radar reliability in the early fifties, he became
the first person in the world to propose and pioneer the integrated circuit. In recognition of his distinguished career, he has received
the USA Medal of Freedom and the MBE.
Mike Tooley is Director of Curriculum and quality at Brooklands College, Surrey and a well-known
author of textbooks in microelectronics and engineering. He currently teaches reliability.
