| Review: | This book has an integrated-systems approach to engineering design and problem solving, based on two fundamental principles: a disciplined systematic process and a robust systematic understanding of the challenges and issues to be tackled. The mechanical design solutions, used since the days of Watt and Stevenson, are not flexible enough for modern design. Chapters describe: the evolution of engineering design; the need for a systems engineering approach to engineering design; the enterprise environment for engineering design; control and embedded intelligence; the challenge of idea sourcing. They also include numerous real-life examples and case studies |
