Engineering Design Third Edition: Third Edition

This book is very handy for my Engineering Innovation class! This book provides very useful information for not only engineering design, but also for other things too. For example, one chapter provides very helpful information about presenting designs in both oral and written forms, which is really nice. The book is very detailed and has an easy-to-understand format which makes taking notes and applying them to class discussion, projects, etc. so much easier! I think this book would be helpful for anyone in Engineering, and not just the people taking the class. It was so nice to get it for the price I did too. At my school's book store it would have cost a fortune! It is in almost brand new condition and doesn't have any marks. (yeaa for books in good condition!)

Bought it for grandson and he enjoyed looking through it.I would recommend it to a friend

The book had no missing pages. It was clean and came quickly. Fast shipping, even though using Standard Shipping (well for me). It helped me understand the concepts and steps in designing and fabricating certain parts on a vehicle and other mechanics.

Very dry, very long, very drawn out. Cluttered explanations followed be exhaustive case studies. Even my professors agree that this book is only good for skimming and getting ideas from, not as a detailed reference.

Book was required as a supplement book for senior design class at my college. Mechanical engineering major. Talks about the design process, ethics, presentation habits, business letter guidelines, CAD drawing tolerances and those type of things. Very good I guess. Note, It's not an actual mechanical engineering design book, its more about the business and ethics aspect of it.

Yo dawg, this engineering stuff is like the best thing I've ever had my hands on, it's gotta be like more ballin than marty mcfly at 88 miles per hour and 1.21 jiggawatts, goin back in time, man that stuff is the sheeps

I can't speak too much about what's inside the book, but the way it came in was great! I believe it was on time and it was definitely in great condition!

This book is the format for my capstone design class. We had three assignments based on some design documents the text suggested. These were alright, but not overly helpful in guiding nor progressing our design. The other chapters, like the one on group management, were more helpful. Design is a difficult process to generalize or outline. The author does a good job with that part of it. I didn't care as much for the 'emotional' side of things, not because the information was false or unhelpful, but because the ideas are difficult to convey to engineers. Overall, this text guides the design process well.
