This book is dedicated to the essential components of the design process and uses case studies, labs, and group projects to show their application. With explicit guidance, students learn that the design process is a set of procedures that will help them solve engineering problems. Yousef Haik and Tamer Shahin illustrate the critical steps of the design process, including articulating the problem, market analysis, function analysis, developing concepts, evaluating alternatives, and marketing, while facilitating hands-on learning and teamwork opportunities through labs and class-tested design problems.

  • Includes presentation options for students with or without previous engineering coursework, allowing you to alter the sequence without changing the material.
  • Incorporates a consistent approach to teaching the engineering design process: identification of a need and setting goals, market analysis, specifications and constraints, function analysis, generating concepts, evaluating alternatives, analysis, experiment, and marketing.
  • Introduces students to the prerequisite considerations for beginning the design process including scheduling, human factors, safety considerations, and presentation style.
  • Uses examples throughout to show how the material is applied, and reinforces understanding with individual and team activities at the end of each chapter.
  • Presents laboratory experiments to help students adjust to working in teams; other design projects involve material selection, ergonomics, FEM analysis, geometric tolerance, and scheduling.
  • Covers important topics for today’s student such as Essential Transferable Skills, and Reverse Engineering.
  • Pedagogy has been redesigned to include many new topics such as Professionalism and Ethics, and Essential Transferable Skills.
  • Design Labs have been integrated into the chapters in order to reinforce team work as part of the design process.
