Introduction to Engineering Design: A Conceptual Overview

by Kenneth Alfano

Introduction to Engineering A Conceptual Overview provides a basic overview of the process of engineering design – the "heart" of engineering – in a broadly accessible manner that assumes no specialized knowledge. Relevant for wide range of engineering disciplines, it establishes a core framework for understanding the fundamentals while briefly touching on various other related points to put them in context (often via footnotes, which may link to external resources for further information). It serves as a textbook for an introductory college course, a supporting text for later courses or on the job, or simply a general introduction for those curious about engineering design. ( Related teaching materials for instructors may be available at engineeringdesign.info .) These are the main topics (chapters) the book
