Description
A multidisciplinary introduction to engineering design using real-life case studies.
Case Studies in Engineering Design provides students
and practising engineers with many practical and accessible case studies which are representative of situations engineers face in professional
life, and which incorporate a range of engineering disciplines.
Different methodologies of approaching engineering design are identified
and explained prior to their application in the case studies. The case studies have been chosen from real-life engineering design projects
and aim to expose students to a wide variety of design activities and situations, including those that have incomplete, or imperfect,
information. This book encourages the student to be innovative, to try new ideas, whilst not losing sight of sound and well-proven engineering
practice.
A set of notes for lecturers to accompany the book is available free to download from: http://www.bh.com/manuals/0340691352
Audience
Undergraduate engineers of all disciplines - particularly mechanical and manufacturing. Professional engineers.
