Whether engineers are attempting to state requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track progress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits, they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful, useful data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering measurements—beyond anything on the market today.
