Engineering Design

Engineering Design, 6th Edition, is a textbook that introduces students to the engineering design process. Compared with other broad-based design texts, this edition places greater emphasis on material selection, design for manufacturing, and design for quality.

The volume covers product development, team dynamics, information gathering, and problem definition. Readers progress through concept generation, concept selection, embodiment design, detail design, and cost evaluation.

Intended for junior or senior design courses featuring hands-on projects, the textbook supports introductory instruction as well as capstone courses that extend from market selection to building a working prototype. It also provides key literature references and referrals to useful websites.
