Of Mechanical Engineering. The University of Texas at Austin. DANIEL JENSEN. Of Engineering Mechanics. United States Air. Of Mechanical Engineering. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A variety of design-process and design-methods courses.

• Fundamental approach—A systematic and methods-based strategy to product development. • Reverse engineering and product teardowns (dissection) offer a better paradigm for design instruction, permitting a modern learning cycle of experience, hypothesis, understanding, and new design execution. Ex.___ • Students see good design before they attempt design. • Systematic methods provide structure for the learning of design. Ex.___ • Concrete experiences with hands-on products. • Students gain confidence through improving commercial products.

Ex.___ • Application of modern technologies. • Rapid numerical exploration links engineering analysis to design. Ex.___ • Studies of systematic experimentation. • Easy to follow explanations permit effective improvement of products.

Ex.___ • Exploration of the boundaries of design methodology. • Authors explain underlying assumptions and limits to design methods. Ex.___ • Decision making for real product development. • Industrially proven methods and their underlying reasoning are explained. Ex.___ • Discusses foundation material of product design, including a philosophy for learning and implementing product design.

• Perspective is gained on what methods can do and will do in the future. Ex.___ • Each chapter includes both basic and advanced techniques for particular phases of product development. • Permits instructor customization of the material—High-level or in-depth study on the various aspects of product development.

Ex.___ • Presents theory and concrete examples of emerging design techniques and principles. • The reader will study contemporary design-for-manufacturing, design-for-the-environment, prototyping, and design-for-assembly methods.
