This book describes the engineering design process through introduction of key steps and activities. The steps include defining the problem, formulating solutions, developing models and prototypes, and finally, presenting and implementing the design. Throughout each of these steps the text goes beyond the technical aspects of design but integrates with it the skills of decision making, project management, communication, and collaboration.
