"Engineering Design is intended as a text for senior capstone courses as well as junior and sophomore engineering design courses. - The text integrates the best concepts and methods presented in other design textbooks, while providing additional topics such as human factors, materials and manufacturing processes. Using a "just-in-time" philosophy of learning, topics are presented in a timely, orderly fashion, progressively building engineering design methods and terminology. - Key terms are defined, emphasized, and distinguished to highlight important subtitles. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce the knowledge and methods presented. - In addition, self-quiz exercises are included at the end of each chapter."--BOOK JACKET
