Successful engineering design requires a strong understanding of fundamentalconcepts in the basic sciences and engineering combined with mathematics.This text provides an introduction to the design tools used in engineeringdesign. It focuses on the first two steps of the design process:determination of need/problem clarification and conceptualization.In addition, an overview of materials and manufacturing methods ispresented. The use of Excel has been incorporated throughout the text forperforming routine calculations, leaving more time for the creative aspectsof the design process. Finally, the text contains an extensive discussion ofsystematic concept generation using the theory of inventive problem solving,TRIZ. Below is a listing of the book’s table of contents:1.
