Introduction to Product Design and Development for Engineers provides guidelines and best practices for the design, development, and evaluation of engineered products. Created to serve fourth year undergraduate students in Engineering Design modules with a required project, the text covers the entire product design process and product life-cycle, from the initial concept to the design and development stages, and through to product testing, design documentation, manufacturability, marketing, and sustainability. Reflecting the author's long career as a design engineer, this text will also serve as a practical guide for students working on their capstone design projects.

  • Presents the design, development and life cycle management of engineered products
  • Provides students with the practical skills of product design and documentation
  • Considers software components of electromaechanical products and their design
  • Includes numerous examples and worksheets for developing a sense of life-cycle product design
  • Hones the skills needed to succeed with senior design projects, and work in industry
