Engineering Design Primer

<p>Created to support senior-level courses/modules in product design K. L. Richard’s <i>Engineering Design Primer</i> reflects the author’s deep experience in engineering product management and design. The combination of specific engineering design processes within the broader context of creative team-based product design makes this book the ideal resource for project-based coursework. Starting with design concepts and tasks the text then explores materials selection optimisation reliability statistics testing and economic factors – all supported with real-life examples. Student readers will gain a practical perspective of the work they’ll be doing as their engineering careers begin.</p><p>Features</p><ul> <li>Presents the design development and life-cycle management of engineered products </li> <ul> </ul> <li>Builds the skills and knowledge needed for students to succeed in their capstone design projects </li> <ul> </ul> <li>Brings design concepts alive with practical examples and descriptions </li> <ul> </ul> <li>Emphasises the team dynamics needed in engineering practice </li> <ul> </ul> <li>Examines probability reliability testing and life-cycle management of engineered products</li> <ul> </ul> </ul>
