Book Description
Ideal for undergraduate, graduate, and practicing engineers,
Product Design presents an in-depth study of structured design
processes and methods. Its fundamental approach is that of reverse
engineering and teardowns, which present a new paradigm for design
instruction. This permits a modern learning cycle of experience,
hypothesis, understanding, and then execution. Otto and wood bring
students concrete experiences with hands-on products, applications
of contemporary technologies, and much more.
Features and Benefits
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.
Students see good design before they attempt design. Systematic
methods provide structure for the learning of design.
Concrete experiences with hands-on products. Students gain
confidence through improving commercial products.
Application of modern technologies. Rapid numerical exploration
links engineering analysis to design.
Studies of systematic experimentation. Easy to follow explanations
permit effective improvement of products.
Exploration of the boundaries of design methodology. Authors
explain underlying assumptions and limits to design methods.
Decision making for real product development. Industrially proven
methods and their underlying reasoning are explained.
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.
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.
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.
