Book Overview
Engineers continue to turn to Engineering Design to learn the tools and techniques of formal design that will be useful in framing the design problems. Insights and tips on team dynamics are provided because design and research is increasingly done in teams. Readers are also introduced to conceptual design tools like objectives trees, morphological charts, and requirement matrices. Case studies are included that show the relevance of these tools to practical settings. The third edition offers a view of the design tools that even the greenest of engineers will have in their toolbox in the coming years.

Great Engineering Book, but not as a Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is definitely vital to beginning engineers and people who are just interested in the topic. It explains many of the intracacies of project design and gives a complete process of how to complete an actual engineering project. Most likely this will be used as a textbook in universities, but should be accompanied with another book that more fully explains some of the terms. It is best used as a reference while working on a project or for later design classes. There is simply to much information to base tests on it. That said, the book is very thorough in explaining how to create a schedule, the various diagrams, charts and table, planning, the relationship between client, user and designer and how to complete the project on time and sucessfully. If you were not required to take an intro to engineering design class and are faced with a high level design class, this would be a great reference to use.
