Engineering Design | 6th Edition  (Paperback, George Dieter, Linda Schmidt)

Engineering Design in its sixth edition continues its tradition of being more oriented to material selection design for manufacturing and design for quality than other broad based design texts. The book introduces the design process meticulously and in a lucid language through Chapters 1 to 9. It is used in the senior capstone design course that includes a complete design project starting from selecting a market to creating a working prototype.
