Table Of ContentEngineering Design. Needs Assessment. Structuring the Search for the Problem. Structuring the Search for a Solution: Design Goals and Specifications. Acquiring, Applying, and Protecting Technical Knowledge. Abstraction and Modeling. Synthesis. Ethics and Product Liability Issues. Hazards Analysis and Failure Analysis.
SynopsisThe book introduces readers to a broad range of important design topics. It provides numerous cases that illustrate both successes and failures in engineering design; qualitative presentation of engineering practices are easily understood by readers with little technical knowledge, and analytical techniques are given that allow the development and evaluation of proposed engineering solutions. Coverage includes: an overview of engineering design, needs assessment, structuring the search for the problem, structuring the search for a solution (design goals and specifications), acquiring and applying technical knowledge, abstraction and modeling, synthesis, ethics and product liability issues, and hazards analysis and failure analysis. An excellent handbook for design engineers., 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., The book introduces readers to a broad range of important design topics.
