ENGINEERING DESIGN: AN INTRODUCTION, Second Edition, features an innovative instructional approach emphasizing projects and exploration as learning tools. This engaging text provides an overview of the basic engineering principles that shape our modern world, covering key concepts within a flexible, two-part format. Part I describes the process of engineering and technology product design, while Part II helps students develop specific skill sets needed to understand and participate in the process.

  • The book includes case studies, career profiles, and featured articles that give students real-world context for the concepts and skills they are learning.
  • The authors cover practical techniques related to documenting ideas, technical drawing, human factors, design styles, and other topics to help students prepare for career success.
  • Every chapter has figures and illustrations that clarify concepts and support visual learners.
  • A special section on applied math and science allows for integration of key concepts from core academic subjects.
  • The second edition has expanded information on current engineering careers, including sub-disciplines and career profiles.
  • Technical drawing has received additional coverage with information on measuring and commonly used tools and systems.
  • The book has extensive updates to provide current coverage of the latest research tools for design assignments.
