Synopsis

For courses in Engineering Design.

Engineering By Design introduces students to a broad range of important design topics. The engineering design process provides the skeletal structure for the text, around which is wrapped numerous cases that illustrate both successes and failures in engineering design. The text provides a balance of qualitative presentation of engineering practices that can be understood by students with little technical knowledge and a more quantitative approach in which substantive analytical techniques are used to develop and evaluate proposed engineering solutions.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This text follows the proven engineering design process of needs assessment, problem formulation, abstraction, synthesis, analysis, and implementation. Combining classical design principles with historical and modern examples of engineering design, this text offers a well-rounded introduction to the subject. The design process provides the skeletal structure for the text, around which are wrapped numerous cases and examples from a variety of engineering disciplines that illustrate both successes and failures in design.

Engineering by Design provides class-tested resources and a framework for students to:

• formulate problems correctly
• work successfully in interdisciplinary teams
• develop their creativity, imagination, and analytical skills
• make informed ethical decisions
• hone their written and oral communication skills

Written for introductory engineering courses, this text is also suitable for a number of other design courses. Instructor materials and a website support those who may be new to teaching a design course.
