Description
Good design is the key to the manufacture of successful commercial products. It encompasses creativity, technical ability, communication
at all levels, good management and the abiltity to mould these attributes together. There are no single answers to producing a well
designed product. There are however tried and tested principles which, if followed, increase the likely success of any final product.
This book introduces these principles to engineering students and professional engineers. Drawing on historical and familiar examples
from the present, the book provides a stimulating guide to the principles of good engineering design. The comprehensive coverage of this
text makes it invaluable to all undergraduates requiring a firm foundation in the subject.
Audience:
1st year undergraduate mechanical and manufacturing engineers.
