    Description of Engineering Design

    Features

    * Progressive terminology and a glossary of design and manufacturing terms.

    * Unique coverage—Unlike other texts, discusses topics like human factors in engineering design and materials and manufacturing processes.

    * Chapter on human factors and its relationship to engineering design—Explains the tools needed for preparing preliminary product designs that incorporate human abilities and limitations with concepts, tabular data, and illustrations.

    * Chapter on selecting materials for design—Assists students with appropriate material properties and selection methods, discussing their influence on the design of a product.

    * Chapter on manufacturing processes and their feature generating capabilities—Introduces the principal manufacturing processes in the context of product development, rather than just the physics.

    * Chapter on formulating a design problem—Identifies how to define problems to meet customer and company requirements in qualitative and quantitative terms.

    * Multiple examples—Enable students to understand the similarities, differences, and subtleties of design terminology and methodology.

    * Chapter-Opening Introductions—Open every chapter with an introduction about the material to be presented in the chapter.

    * End-of-Chapter Pointers—Close every chapter with a summary, references, key terms and exercises that reinforce main points and apply concepts learned.
