Introduction to Engineering Design and Problem Solving ISBN 007-012188-5 |
By David Burghardt
Introduction to Engineering Design and Problem Solving aims to interest students in and excite them about engineering, particularly with the creative challenge and reward of engineering design. It provides a window to the real world of engineering practice and looks deeply at the nature of the design process. A variety of design projects and design reports, along with relevant engineering analysis, are included to enhance student learning. Over 250 homework problems also reinforce understanding.
