In recent decades, metrology—an accurate and precise technology of high quality for automotive engines—has garnered a great deal of scientific interest owing to its unique advanced soft engineering techniques in design and diagnostics. Used in a variety of scientific applications, these techniques are now widely regarded as safer, more efficient, and more effective than traditional ones.

This book compiles and details the cutting-edge research in science and engineering from the Egyptian Metrology Institute (National Institute for Standards) for accurate and precise engineering that are currently revolutionizing advanced dimensional techniques through the development of coordinate and surface metrology. Edited by Dr. Salah H. R. Ali, a prominent in micro- and nanotechnology and automotive metrology researcher, this book will appeal to anyone involved in dimensional metrology, measurement strategies, accurate and precise measurement science, coordinate metrology, CMM error separation, CMM verification, Talyround  accuracy, new and overall engine efficiency, warm-up engine diagnosis, or manufacturing quality of automotive engine research in the area of engine machining and coating surface.
