Inhaltsangabe

This text uses an integrated and interactive set of materials to teach students about the process of engineering design. Using a very strong engineering context and providing an experiential resource, this material exposes students to the cognitive and interpersonal skills required to execute the design process and introduces them to some of the productivity tools used by engineers.

Phases of the design process are covered, which reflect the new ABET accreditation criteria. These areas include Defining the Problem, Formulating Solutions, Developing Models and Prototypes and Presenting the Design. Topics on Decision-Making, Communication, Collaboration and Self-Management are also presented, in order for students to learn how these various skills are best applied to each phase of the design process.

Suitable for a freshman/sophomore Introductory Design course, Dominick's book can also be used for some upper-level design courses. The text is meant to support student work on a variety of design projects regardless of engineering discipline.

AN INTEGRATED AND INTERACTIVE SET OF MATERIALS TO EXPLORE THE PROCESS OF ENGINEERING DESIGN

This integrated and interactive set of materials exposes readers to the cognitive and interpersonal skills required to execute the design process, and introduces them to some of the productivity tools used by engineers. All phases of the design process are covered including Defining the Problem, Formulating solutions, Developing Models and Prototypes and Presenting the Design. Topics on Decision-making, communication, collaboration and self-Management show how these various skill are best applied to each phase of the design process. the focus throughout is on skills and activities that transcend specific types of design projects.

• Readers develop solid Team Skill and are guided through the principles and steps that promote team effectiveness.
• self-Assessment Activities provide increased personal insight to strengths and improvement areas along with a greater involvement in the learning process.
• Specific tools and tactics are presented at the point in a design process when they are most likely to be applied "just in time".
