Product Design and Development Handbook: An Innovative, Entrepreneurial, and Structured Approach for Engineering Capstone and Industry Projects enables engineering students and practicing engineers to conduct successful product design and development projects. The text uses the Phased Product Development (PPD) process, which was developed by the authors and features two key elements: mini milestones that keep project design and development teams on schedule and within budget; and the use of phase exit checklists that ensure the team demonstrates evidence of meeting all Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and entrepreneurial mindset (EM) outcomes. The book is divided into 44 modules that align with a two-semester capstone product development course or can be tailored to support a one-semester course. Each module includes pre- and post-class session assignments that break the development process into mini-milestones. An example project-the design and development of a travel iron-is provided to help teams understand how the information in the text can be applied to an actual project. In addition to covering design, this handbook also addresses the important tasks of manufacturing, developing, and validating an engineering prototype. It integrates product engineering into the overall commercialization process. The attributes of "thinking like an engineer" and meeting the sponsor's expectations are emphasized throughout the book and paired with industry examples. The role of the engineering team in the overall product development effort is addressed using the Goldsmith Commercialization Model. The entrepreneurial mindset is integrated into each development phase and the Arizona State University (ASU) Fulton Schools of Engineering (FSE) EM@FSE 2.0 indicators are included in the phase exit checklists. Product Design and Development Handbook is applicable to single discipline, multi-discipline, and trans-discipline team-based product design and development projects and programs. Though the handbook uses mechanical engineering projects as a baseline, it can support all engineering disciplines.

Offering a modern, process-oriented approach emphasizing process control scheme development instead of extended coverage of LaPlace space descriptions of process dynamics, this text focuses on aspects that are most important for process engineering in the 21st century. Instead of starting with the controller, the book starts with the process and moves on to how basic regulatory control schemes can be designed to achieve the process' objectives while maintaining stable operations. In addition to continuous control concepts, process and control system dynamics are embedded into the text with each new concept presented. The book also includes sections on batch and semi-batch processes and safety automation within each concept area. It discusses the four most common process control loops-feedback, feedforward, ratio, and cascade-and discusses application of these techniques for process control schemes for the most common types of unit operations. It also discusses more advanced and less commonly used regulatory control options such as override, allocation, and split range controllers, includes an introduction to higher level automation functions, and provides guidance for ways to increase the overall safety, stability, and efficiency for many process applications. It introduces the theory behind the most common types of controllers used in the process industries and also provides various additional plant automation-related subjects.

Thinking: Objects: Contemporary Approaches to Product Design discusses influences on modern product design such as globalization, technology, the media and the need for a sustainable future, and demonstrates how readers can incorporate these influences into their own work. The book also discusses how readers can learn to read the signals an object sends, interpret meaning and discover historical context. Thinking: Objects provides an essential reference tool that will enable you to find your own style and succeed in the industry.

Die Neuauflage des dritten Bandes unseres Handbuches, dessen erste Auflage in verhaltnismassig kurzer Zeit vergriffen war, hat durch einige widrige Umstande eine ungewollte Verzoegerung erfahren, unter anderem durch langere Krankheit eines der Verfasser. Herr Baurat Dipl.-Ing. R. HAENcHEN ist wegen seines hohen Alters aus dem Kreis unserer Mitarbeiter ausgeschieden. An seine Stelle ist der Leiter der Schweiss- technischen Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Munchen, Herr Dr.-Ing. J. RUGE als Bearbeiter der Hauptabschnitte getreten. Die Weiterentwicklung der Schweisstechnik machte eine vollstandige UEber- arbeitung erforderlich. Der Inhalt wurde erweitert durch Aufnahme der Ab- schnitte uber Berechnen und Gestalten der Punktschweissverbindungen, uber das Schweissen im Fahrzeug-, Brucken- und Schiffbau. Neu aufgenommen wurde auch ein Abschnitt uber die Grundlagen des Leichtbaues. Unter Beruck- sichtigung der in der Zwischenzeit entwickelten Richtlinien und Normen wurden alle Abschnitte kritisch durchgesehen und neue Beispiele eingefugt. Tabellarische und graphische Darstellungen sollen das Berechnen geschweisster Konstruktions- elemente erleichtern. Aufgabe des vorliegenden Buches ist es, den jungen Ingenieur und den mit der Schweissbauweise noch wenig vertrauten Konstrukteur in das Berechnen und Entwerfen von Schweisskonstruktionen einzufuhren und ihm die Wege zu einem schweisstechnisch richtigen Denken zu ebnen. Dabei werden die Grundkennt- nisse im Schweissen und die Kenntnis der Arbeitsweise der Schweissverfahren vorausgesetzt. Der Abschnitt Berechnung der Schweisskonstruktionen enthalt die Grund- begriffe der statischen und dynamischen Beanspruchung, deren Verstandnis fur die Beurteilung des Festigkeitsverhaltens der 'Werkstoffe und fur die Durch- rechnung geschweisster Konstruktionselemente erforderlich ist.
