Engineering design

This resource is one of the ‘Engineer on a Disk’ collection of free online books and notes written by selected professors for engineering classes and laboratory work in the US.

It offers an entry-level note-style treatment of the main topics in an engineering design syllabus. The material is presented concisely using predominantly bullet-points and short statements, and is particularly useful in providing many explanatory images, including system and process diagrams and drawings.

Topics covered includes basic design, product design, specifications, design methods, conceptual design, human factors/ergonomics, management, design teams, administration, concurrent engineering, design for x (DFX), computer aided design (CAD), geometrical modelling of parts, geometrical modelling for design, and computer aided engineering (CAE).
