Description
The design process is an engineering discipline that precedes the manufacturing of every product, and which requires the designer to develop a strategy that takes into account constraints including budget, time and material properties and addresses problem solving and optimization. Engineering Design Methods, written in a clear and readable by an experienced author of teaching texts, is an integrated design textbook that presents this strategy and sets it in the context of broader product development and design process management.
This revised fourth edition
-
provides explicit, step-by-step advice on how to implement several separate design methods that have been shown to be of value in both education and practice.
-
promotes a flexible approach to the design process.
-
contains new case studies, problems and examples from industry that broaden the scope of the book from engineering design into product design.
-
includes a significant new chapter presenting the User Scenarios Method; a procedure for investigating potential product user wants and needs, that culminates in a design brief identifying an opportunity for developing a new product concept.
-
features a book companion website with powerpoint slides for instructors.
Building on the outstanding success of the previous three editions, this edition cements Engineering Design Methods’ position at the forefront of engineering and industrial design as an essential text for students and lecturers as well as practitioners of engineering and industrial design.
