Good design is the key to the manufacture of successful commercial products. It encompasses creativity, technical ability, communication at all levels, good management and the abiltity to mould these attributes together. There are no single answers to producing a well designed product. There are however tried and tested principles which, if followed, increase the likely success of any final product. Engineering Design Principles introduces these principles to engineering students and professional engineers. Drawing on historical and familiar examples from the present, the book provides a stimulating guide to the principles of good engineering design. The comprehensive coverage of this text makes it invaluable to all undergraduates requiring a firm foundation in the subject. - Introduction to principles of good engineering design like: problem identification, creativity, concept selection, modelling, design management and information gathering - Rich selection of historical and familiar present examples

In our endeavor to reinforce and emphasize the benefits of modern industrial design course to many students across India we are bringing on a small edition of this book titled “Concepts in Engineering Design” .The subtlety of creation with problem solving approach is needed to be deeply ingrained into the vast diaspora of Indian students; especially with emphasis of government on make in India , start up India and zero effect zero defect projects. It is abundantly clear that classroom teaching has to be up scaled with practical approach and industrial reasoning. So the takeaway from this course to students, researchers and professional after the course should be engineering with a systems approach, involvement of design development as a team, integration of several streams of learning like environmental, physiology etc. into the Concept of Engineering Design. We wish we are in some manner involved in changing their outlook from classic learning to professional learning involving them into project based activity, case studies ,resourceful learning etc. They become agents of change for future generations and they grasp the fact that they can become professional designers and not merely subservient engineers. Good luck. “The primary objective of the course is to introduce concepts in engineering design to students from all the engineering disciplines. This course broadly covers the prerequisites for an innovative design followed by concepts of products design cycle right from planning, designing, manufacturing, distributing and its usage.”-RGPV

Engineering design is a fundamental problem-solving model used by the discipline. Effective problem-solving requires the ability to find and incorporate quality information sources. To teach courses in this area effectively, educators need to understand the information needs of engineers and engineering students and their information gathering habits. This book provides essential guidance for engineering faculty and librarians wishing to better integrate information competencies into their curricular offerings. The treatment of the subject matter is pragmatic, accessible, and engaging. Rather than focusing on specific resources or interfaces, the book adopts a process-driven approach that outlasts changing information technologies. After several chapters introducing the conceptual underpinnings of the book, a sequence of shorter contributions go into more detail about specific steps in the design process and the information needs for those steps. While they are based on the latest research and theory, the emphasis of the chapters is on usable knowledge. Designed to be accessible, they also include illustrative examples drawn from specific engineering sub-disciplines to show how the core concepts can be applied in those situations.

A guide to using the power of design flexibility to improve the performance of complex technological projects, for designers, managers, users, and analysts. Project teams can improve results by recognizing that the future is inevitably uncertain and that by creating flexible designs they can adapt to eventualities. This approach enables them to take advantage of new opportunities and avoid harmful losses. Designers of complex, long-lasting projects—such as communication networks, power plants, or hospitals—must learn to abandon fixed specifications and narrow forecasts. They need to avoid the “flaw of averages,” the conceptual pitfall that traps so many designs in underperformance. Failure to allow for changing circumstances risks leaving significant value untapped. This book is a guide for creating and implementing value-enhancing flexibility in design. It will be an essential resource for all participants in the development and operation of technological systems: designers, managers, financial analysts, investors, regulators, and academics. The book provides a high-level overview of why flexibility in design is needed to deliver significantly increased value. It describes in detail methods to identify, select, and implement useful flexibility. The book is unique in that it explicitly recognizes that future outcomes are uncertain. It thus presents forecasting, analysis, and evaluation tools especially suited to this reality. Appendixes provide expanded explanations of concepts and analytic tools.
