Engineering by Design

Introducing students to a range of design topics, this book is suitable for courses in Engineering Design. It aims to provide a balance of qualitative presentation of engineering practices with a more quantitative approach in which substantive analytical techniques are used to develop and evaluate proposed engineering solutions. For courses in Engineering Design. Engineering By Design introduces students to a broad range of important design topics. The engineering design process provides the skeletal structure for the text, around which is wrapped numerous cases that illustrate both successes and failures in engineering design. The text provides a balance of qualitative presentation of engineering practices that can be understood by students with little technical knowledge and a more quantitative approach in which substantive analytical techniques are used to develop and evaluate proposed engineering solutions.
