Design Engineering Manual

Design Engineering covers multiple disciplines but not limited to electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, and architectural engineering. The design engineer sets the direction of the design effort and does the most complex parts of design. Consequently, the design engineer must be familiar with and have access to many different areas in engineering. This concise volume does just that, bringing critical information such as design and materials, new materials, ergonomics, reliability and maintainability, product safety, electronics, mechanics, and plastics to the design engineer.

• Provides a single-source of critical information to the design engineer, saving time and therefore money on a particular design project




• Presents both the fundamentals and advanced topics and also the latest information in key aspects of the design process


• Examines all aspects of the design process in one concise and accessible volume
