Design

Book DescriptionThis book takes an original approach to engineering design communication by combining traditional engineering graphical communication with design modeling, and incorporating the assistance of a CAD tool. Through the use of practical examples and a straightforward writing style, Engin... More

""Success through Failure" is an insightful and accessible foray into design. The book is a page-turner, with an intensity that builds as you read. I found myself waiting for discussions of various topics--from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to the space shuttle--only to find them before me several pages... More

Uses a "building-block" approach with examples (some dimensioned and toleranced in inches and some in millimeters) to illustrate each concept. Reinforces the explanations with end-of-chapter self evaluation exercises (the answers to all questions and problems are contained in the back of the book). ... More

In the early 1960s systematic techniques were introduced to guide engineers in producing high-quality designs. By the mid-1980s, these methods evolved from their informal guideline-like origins to more formal computable methods. Recently, highly automated design synthesis techniques have emerged. Th... More

The most comprehensive volume to date on the design and manufacture of plastics Plastic product design relies on the same formulas and procedures used for the design of metal, yet plastics are unique building materials that require more in-depth knowledge to produce acceptable results. Plastic prod... More

Most books cover the subject from a statistical or theoretical point of view. Ideal for working engineers, this book uses real-world examples and boils statistical theory and analysis down to its simplest form. * Features new and updated material, including cases and a larger focus on multivariate a...

Wide aspects of a university education address design: the conceptualization, planning and implementation of man-made artifacts. All areas of engineering, parts of computer science and of course architecture and industrial design all claim to teach design. Yet the education of design tends ot follow... More

Written by one of the founders of the famous MIT "6270" Lego Robotic design Competition, "Robotic Explorations: A Hands-On Introduction to Engineering" engages students in hands-on robot building, emphasizing technological systems of all kinds--electrical, mechanical, and computational. A first text... More

About This Book... The third edition of "Engineering Design" provides separate chapters on problem definition, concept generation and evaluation, the embodiment design process, and detail design. Chapters have also been reordered to be more in the natural progression of the design process. As be... More
