Jack, Hugh,
Engineering design, planning, and management [recurso electrónico] / Hugh Jack. - Amsterdam ; Boston : Academic Press, c2013. - 1 online resource (xv, 574 pages)
Includes index.
Description: Covering engineering design methodology with an interdisciplinary approach, Engineering Design, Planning, and Management studies the different approaches to project management and creative design. Useful design techniques like concept mapping and weighted decision matrices are introduced with extensive graphics, flowcharts, and accompanying interactive templates. Recognizing that design is a process that is most often performed in teams, project management and team dynamic topics are also covered. Methods in the book are applied to practical situations where appropriate. Concise yet full of examples, Engineering Design, Planning, and Management is a useful tool for any student of engineering interested in product design. Key Features: Provides examples and applications from a variety of engineering disciplines, to fully demonstrate the design process model Explains development of successful design methods with flowcharts, checklists, and other useful templates Focuses and fosters discussion of project management techniques Includes end-of-chapter exercises for personal practice Covers product design both in the context of established companies and for entrepreneurs starting their own companies includes discussion of project management techniques where appropriate provides examples and applications from across the engineering disciplines, to show the general usefulness of the design process model. Chapter objectives and end of chapter exercises for each chapter A set of ppt lecture slides will be developed by the author for instructor use alongside the text. Also available (for US market) is a correlation table linking chapter content to ABET criteria.
