Design Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced Creativity provides engineering designers, educators, researchers, and students with a comprehensive and coherent guide to innovative design engineering. Based on more than 25 years of industrial experience, the authors explore the progressive development of a product through the various stages of modeling, from abstract theory to concrete application. They present a pioneering methodology based on a theory of transformation processes, tangible products, and a coordinated theory of design processes. The text features several case examples of practical engineering products that demonstrate how to implement the methodology in real-world practice.
