Short Description
This book examines all techniques used in the thermal and materials sciences, fluid engineering and engineering mechanics to foster an understanding of the engineering design process from the recognition of a need and the definition of design objectives through product certification and manufacturing of a prototype. Coverage includes insight on how to manage a project, safety and environmental protection plus a unique chapter concerning ethics. Mini projects stress such topics as codes and specifications, economical design, statistical data analysis, simulation and modeling, creativity and innovation.
