Ebook The mechanical design process

This realization led me to study the process of mechanical design, and iteventually led to this book. Part has been original research, part studying U.S. in-dustry, part studying foreign design techniques, and part trying different teachingapproaches on design classes. I came to four basic conclusions about mechanicaldesign as a result of these studies:1.The only way to learn about design is to do design. 2.In engineering design, the designer uses three types of knowledge: knowl-edge to generate ideas, knowledge to evaluate ideas and make decisions, andknowledge to structure the design process. A design process that results in a quality product can be learned, providedthere is enough ability and experience to generate ideas and enough experi-ence and training to evaluate them.
