A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Many colleges of engineering are seeking to give students more exposure to design early in the curriculum. One approach has been to develop project–based, design–centered courses for first–year students, but few texts on design are at the right level for first–year students.  Designing Engineers: An Introductory Textbook has been created to meet this need.  It has evolved from one of the largest and most successful first–year engineering design programs, taught to over 1,000 students annually at the University of Toronto.

Designing Engineers is written in short modules, where each module is built around a specific learning outcome and is cross–referenced to the other modules that should be read as pre–requisites, and could be read in tandem with or following that module. The book begins with a brief orientation to the design process, followed by coverage of the design process in a series of short modules. The rest of the book contains a set of modules organized in several major categories: Communication & Critical Thinking, Teamwork & Project Management, and Design for Specific Factors (e.g. environmental, human factors, intellectual property). A resource section provides brief reference material on economics, failure and risk, probability and statistics, principles & problem solving, and estimation.
